PublicationPublic administration contributes to happiness: a study on the relationship between public value and happiness in Switzerland( 2024-02-01)
;Jessica BardeliBrieger, StevenIn public management research, the focus in the public value debate has been on public administration organizations' broader societal outcomes. Public value describes how public administrations form a vital part of the social context in which people develop and grow. However, there has not yet been an analysis of how public administration contributes to happiness in society. In this study, we empirically analyze the relationship between people's happiness and the public value of public administration. Our approach is based on a unique Swiss survey dataset comprising 870 individuals. We find a positive relationship between public administration's public value and happiness. We also find preliminary evidence with a moderation analysis that the relationship between a value-creating public administration sector and self-reported happiness is stronger for public administration employees. While correlation studies cannot claim causal explanations and common method bias may additionally limit any research in social science, we took a number of measures to mitigate related problem. We tested our model in two samples and took both several procedural techniques and a survey design minimizing common method bias.Type: journal articleJournal: International Journal of Public Sector Management -

PublicationThe VBA Model and Public Value : Filling the Value GapThe basic idea of the conceptual paper is to discuss the notion of value creation in the business and society field and to present the public value concept as a way of extending the understanding of business's value creation for society. First, the paper draws on the value balance accountability (VBA) model by Schwartz and Carroll, in which value creation is identified as a central element in the business and society field. Second, based on this, we critically evaluate the VBA model's value notion, which appears to be relatively vague and narrow. Third, in order to tackle these gaps, we present Meynhardt's public value approach, which provides an extended notion of value creation. We further propose a combined public value-balance-accountability-framework. Public value fills the framework's value dimension with actual content and provides a microfoundation. It helps to overcome the separation fallacy. The combined framework contributes to both theory and practice in the business and society field.Type: journal articleJournal: Business & Professional Ethics JournalVolume: 33Issue: 4DOI: 10.5840/bpej20152422

PublicationLeadership for Sustainability: The Role of Values, Sustainability Understanding, and Education( 2016)
;Sundermann, Anna ;Brieger, Steven A. ;Seidel, JanManagement attitudes for sustainable development are an important antecedent of responsible leadership behavior. However, the factors that determine sustainable management attitudes are not yet thoroughly researched. This paper puts forward a theoretical model, in which individual values and conceptual understanding of sustainability are included as drivers of sustainable management attitudes. The paper also enquires the role of having attended a university following a whole institution approach to education for sustainability. A quantitative empirical approach based on a survey dataset is chosen to test the model. The results confirm the relevance of self-transcendent and open values as antecedents of responsible management attitudes. Further, the important role of the conceptual sustainability understanding can be confirmed. Interestingly, a skepticism factor is identified that has a significant negative influence on management attitudes for environmental sustainability. Surprisingly, the hypothesized positive relationship between having attended a university following a whole institution approach to education for sustainable development and sustainable management attitudes cannot be confirmed. In fact, the results even suggest a negative relationship. Finally, the paper includes implications and avenues for further research on responsible leader mindsets and responsible management education as well as implications for responsible leadership practice.Type: conference paper -
PublicationAnalyzing management preferences for sustainability : Toward a new frameworkThis paper identifies three major gaps in the debate on sustainable management behavior. It explores, first, the relevance of a person's understanding of sustainability and, second, the importance and role he or she attributes to sustainability with regard to management issues (here referred to as "sustainability rationales") in order to explain preferences for specific management practices. Third, this paper considers the importance of socio-cultural contexts, which play a major role in determining value systems, as well as of the connection between individual values and management preferences for sustainability. Introducing a framework to explore all of these relations, this paper contributes to the emerging discourse on responsible leadership. Potential implications for further research are discussed.Type: conference paper

PublicationPrivacy Through Multiple Lenses : Applying the St. Gallen Multi-Layered Privacy Interaction Framework (SG-PIF)This article puts the St. Gallen Multi-Layered Privacy Interaction Framework (SG-PIF) into action. The SG-PIF aims to conceptualize privacy as an outcome of various aspects of life and society. Different levels of interaction between individuals' privacy behavior, understood as a decision-making process on whether to disclose personal information, and their environment are subject of investigation. Those layers include the personal level, organizations, society at large and the government. Thus the SG-PIF includes not only psychological aspects of privacy but also the economic, social, cultural, and legal factors that affect individual decision-making processes. The focus of the framework rests on the interaction of these layers or the reciprocal nature of them and the analysis of the impact on individual privacy behavior (Section 2). We use two case-studies to demonstrate how the SG-PIF can be applied to structure the analysis of privacy-related phenomena. The first case study treats the privacy-intrusive practice of email tracking (Section 3). The second one looks at the more futuristic developments in robotics and the impact on individual privacy (Section 4).Type: conference paper
