I discuss the special circumstances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and the possible role of professional norms and access to information.

Do high workloads force bureaucrats to discriminate?

In a published paper at @The_JOP, I challenge the dominant explanation of discrimination in public service delivery. Surprisingly, I find that bureaucrats are able to handle substantial workloads without discriminating.

It demonstrates that high workloads do not automatically force bureaucrats to discriminate in the delivery of services.
It appears that the relation is much more complex than suggested by existing laboratory and survey experimental evidence, and that context plays a crucial role.

@ElizabethLinos This might be relevant for you @SimonCalmar and @Jesper_AJHansen

@Malterdahl Jeg er i gang med at skrive afhandlingen, som først bliver offentlig til efteråret, men jeg kan sende et working paper, hvis du skriver en dm.

Når @Beskaeft_Min nye ekspertudvalg snart skal gentænke indsatsen, håber jeg at de vil inddrage mine overraskende resultater om kommunernes reaktion på BM’s styring. To key-findings som kan hjælpe udvalget med at skabe "frihed, forenkling & værdighed" for de arbejdsløse 👇1/7

@Jens_Joel @Beskaeft_Min Præcis. Det afgørende er hvad der måles på. Min forskning indikerer at det er svært at kombinere proces og resultatmål i samme system.

[Karoline Kolstad @KLKolstad]

Jeg er spændt på at følge udvalgets arbejde, og håber de vil inddrage forvaltningsforskningen, så vi får lavet nogle styringstiltag, der virker efter hensigten: https://t.co/lDTdX5epQ4 7/7

Det er bare to fund fra min ph.d.-afhandling ”Public Organizations under Pressure” ved @AarhusUni, som jeg afleverer til september. 6/7

Today, my first sole authored paper has found its way to a published issue!✨*Spoiler* It's on changing career paths of 🇩🇰senior civil servants. I'm celebrating by discussing roles, 'fachwissen' & politics with civil servants in ministries. Find it here👇 https://t.co/L5VQuSyUEu

@LoyensKim @UUUSBO @DijkMilou @eurocriminology Might be interesting for you @rikke_kolding and your study of prison officers in Danish prisons.

@NIGnl I am looking much forward to join the panel on street-level decision making in complex environments!
