The aim of my research is to improve public sector organizations so they can provide a high quality of public goods. From a multi-level perspective, I investigate how institutional frameworks translate into administrative structures and processes, and how these organizational designs, in turn, influence the cognitions, emotions, and behaviors of civil servants and citizens.
Current research projects concern public leadership (e.g., how administrative leaders implement political reforms), administrative burden and red tape (e.g., how the "dark side" of bureaucracy affects the provision of public services), and implicit sector stereotypes (e.g., how citizens develop stereotypical images of public sector organizations). I further explore the potential of methods from computational linguistics and behavioral neuroscience for advancing public administration scholarship.
My works have received several awards, among them the Christopher Pollitt Prize of the International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPM), the Carlo Masini Award from the Public and Nonprofit Division of the Academy of Management (AoM), as well as honors from the German Academic Association for Business Research (VHB) for the Best Paper in Higher Education Management and in Public Management.
