Gregory Chair in LiberalArts, Texas A&M University “This is the bible for public management scholarship. Itis the first place to turn when looking for an accessible butrigorous analysis of research on basic aspects of organizationallife in the public sector, such as how culture, leadership, andmotivation matter. The interdisciplinary array of research onpublic management has become so voluminous as to seem overwhelmingat times.

Anyone interested in how research can informgovernance should start with this book.” —Donald Moynihan, professor of public affairs, RobertM.
