🧵I was surprised to find that people rate representation as more important than equity or efficiency, when asked to assess values for public services. From my latest work with @jaclynpiatak.bsky.social @colt-jensen.bsky.social & @minjungckim.bsky.social

This builds upon my @pareview.bsky.social article with @colt-jensen.bsky.social on public value and service delivery preferences: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Check out our latest ARPA @aspanational.bsky.social article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... @nathanfavero.com, @colt-jensen.bsky.social, @minjungckim.bsky.social, & I examine how political ideology & public service motivation influence public value preferences.

The first paper from my dissertation has been published & is now available open access in ARPA. The article explores urban–rural capacity disparities by distinguishing public management characteristics that make a public sector org rural rather than merely small. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
