Pleased to share that our Governance article on decentralization, local information, and effort substitution has been recognized as a Top Cited Article in Governance, published on behalf of IPSA-SOG. A reminder that visible targets should not crowd out governance quality.

@PMReview_ Our paper is positioned as an early effort to bring reputation management into the center of crisis management, showing how crisis response can be understood not only as governance under pressure, but also as reputation work conducted through time-sensitive choices.

New publication alert! 🚨Our new PMR study tests how time strategies in crisis response—timing (pre vs post), sequence (defensive vs accommodative), tempo (fast vs slow)—shape public perceptions of local government reputation. Evidence from a 2×3×2 factorial experiment (n=1520).

Organizational reputation should not be viewed solely as an accumulated institutional asset. It also functions as a strategic communication mechanism through which governments convey information about competence, fairness, integrity, and expertise@PMReview_

New publication alert! 🚨
Our latest study in PMR examines how four types of reputation signals—performative, moral, procedural, and technical—differentially influence citizens’ coproduction willingness. DOI: 10.1080/14719037.2025.2591760
