Taking Online Search Queries as an Indicator of the Public Agenda
2016
Recently, several studies suggested that the amount of online search queries can be used as an indicator of the public agenda. Based on former research by the authors, this article discusses the role of public uncertainty as another factor influencing search queries. Therefore, the influence of media coverage on Wikipedia searches concerning two issues is compared: one issue with uncertainty (the Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli [EHEC] epidemic), and one without uncertainty (unemployment). Analyses show much stronger correlations in the case of EHEC, which suggests that online search behavior may especially be used as an indicator of the public agenda in case public uncertainty exists.
Paths of hybridization among journalism, politics, and public sector communication in Italy
2021
This article argues that in Italy there is a new problematic relationship among journalism, politics, and public sector organizations due to the permanence of some traditional features in the informative context as well as to the success of infotainment logic and to the pervasive use of social media. In the new hybrid digi-tal ecosystem, a redefinition of the social role of information is necessary to un-derstand the perspectives for journalism and public sector communication. Info-tainment and politainment enhance the hybridization of Italian public sector communication formats and styles mainly on social media platforms. This process has consequences on interactions and overplays between …

Motivational Differences? Comparing Private, Public and Hybrid Organizations
2021
AbstractWhile studies of motivational differences between managers in private and public organizations proliferate, few have compared managers’ motivation in hybrid organizations to the motivation of managers in private and public organizations. This lack of studies is surprising, as corporatization has been an important trend in the public sector over the last decades. Using a large survey covering almost 3000 managers from a representative sample of organizations in Norway, this study fills this hole by comparing how managers in hybrid organizations differ on extrinsic, intrinsic and prosocial motivation from their counterparts in public and private organizations.

2019
AbstractIn public–private partnerships (PPPs), aligning the goals of the public sector with those of the private contractor is usually achieved using incentives informed by agency theory. However, ...
Presence of think tanks in the Spanish digital press
2020
The study of think tanks in Spain has been growing in the last few years with an equally increasing number of social and grassroots movements. This article offers content analysis results from a selection of eight Spanish think tanks in the digital press during a seven-year period, adding new conclusions to previous literature for the same period. Not only does this research explore the appearance on the media, but also the type of mentions and authorship of the articles and blogs included in the digital press, contributing to a deeper study of think tanks. The objective of this study is to analyse the limited presence of Spanish think tanks in media outlets and whether their appearance is …
Psychophysical burden and lack of support : Reasons for care workers’ intentions to leave their work in the Nordic countries
2021
Long-term care of older adults is currently suffering from a shortage of trained personnel and high turnover rates. Care work is poorly paid, demanding, increasingly time-bound and both mentally and physically burdensome. In this study, we examined the individual, organisational and economic factors that predict professional care workers’ intentions to leave their current employment, using the NORDCARE survey data (2015, N = 3801) collected in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. The respondents were mainly practical and assistant nurses. The analysis showed that the predictors of intentions to leave were similar in the four countries. The most consistent organisational predictors of leavin…
Scales of participation and multi-scalar citizenship in EU participatory governance
2020
The EU still has a democratic deficit and its legitimacy is strongly questioned. This reveals the importance of citizenship and participation in the context of the challenges the EU faces today. The article contributes to the current discussions on the shifting frameworks of participation and citizenship through empirical research into the EU’s participatory governance. It asks how participation is framed in terms of scale and how these scalar framings are used to formulate citizenship in selected projects funded by the EU programmes on citizenship and culture. This microlevel analysis yields new insights into the politics of scale in the EU’s multilevel participatory governance. Frame anal…
Repenser l’intégration républicaine à l’aune de l’interculturalité
2018
Cet article analyse le dispositif français d’intégration républicaine et souligne le potentiel des apports d’une approche interculturelle pour accompagner et informer la réflexion en cours autour de la réforme de la politique publique d’intégration. Les entreprises forment leurs cadres expatriés pour réduire le choc culturel, alors que des dizaines de milliers d’autres migrants, souvent en marge de la société, ne bénéficient pas d’actions semblables de sensibilisation culturelle. À la lumière du rapport Taché sur l’intégration des migrants (février 2018), différents paradigmes – fondés sur les valeurs, socioconstructionnistes, critiques – sont exposés pour éclairer les logiques actuelles du…
Cartografías de la desigualdad : una década de conflictos de vivienda y nuevas resistencias en Santiago de Chile. Análisis del conflicto de la Maestr…
2018
RESUMEN La vivienda es en todo el mundo uno de los motivos de conflicto social más importantes en cualquier ciudad. En el caso chileno y con el movimiento de pobladores, los conflictos por la vivienda han cobrado además un protagonismo social y político muy relevante. El objetivo de este trabajo es, en primer lugar, realizar una actualización de la geografía de los conflictos de vivienda en Santiago de Chile; y en segundo lugar, analizar cómo el repertorio de protesta y las narrativas de los movimientos de pobladores han innovado y evolucionado notablemente desde su apogeo de los años sesenta hasta 1973, aumentando aun si cabe su complejidad, como veremos con un caso de conflicto: el proyec…
