This journal focuses on the management and governance of public sector organizations. It examines how public administrations adopt and implement technologies like artificial intelligence and digital transformation, and how these changes affect workforce adaptation and career development. The journal also explores collaborative governance, public participation, and value co-creation in public services, as well as crisis decision-making and the role of rules and policies in systemic change. Additionally, it investigates public sector employment, employee motivation, and resistance to change, often within local government contexts and across different national settings.
