Abstract
Public management has been rapidly developing as a subfield. Since other recent reviews have discussed many disciplinary and paradigmatic issues, this one concentrates on developments in research on the distinctive characteristics of public managers and the organizations in which they work. It takes aframework developed over a decade ago to describe propositions about public managers and organizations prevalent at that time, and describes how those observations have fared in conceptual and empirical work since then.This publication has 54 references indexed in Scilit:
