Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Public Administration Review focuses on the study of public administration and management. Recent articles examine citizen acceptance of AI in public services, the gap between budget theory and practice in local governments, and the relationship between policy discourse and decolonization. The journal also explores diversity, equity, and inclusion in public organizations, civil servants' career choices amid democratic backsliding, and gendered administrative burdens in healthcare access. Further topics include gene-environment interactions in public service employment selection, how senior civil servants navigate responsiveness and competence, and the role of the presidency in American democracy. Additionally, research covers foundation payout rates, the impact of accountability on public servants' legitimacy perceptions, challenges in the federal budget process, inclusive leadership in public management, contracting for emergency responses, independent regulatory agency reputation, citizen tolerance for corruption and competence in politicians, local government organizational change, and factors influencing local government attention to policy reforms.
