Position
“The rise of social media, fake news and government distrust have led to an increasingly hostile environment for many public sector organizations, leaving them struggling with their reputation. In order to explain negative reputations, scholars assume that more bureaucratic organizations are more likely to face negative reputations. However, evidence for this claim is non-existent. Furthermore, there are theoretical indications that negative reputations may paradoxically lead to more bureaucracy. Through a multi-method design, the aim of this project is threefold: first, examining the causal effect of bureaucraticness on the reputation of public sector organizations; second, examining the causal effect of negative reputations on bureaucraticness; and third, analyzing the causal mechanisms underlying these effects.”
