The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers that are interested in all aspects of public organizations, that is, organizations involved in the production and delivery of public services. The definition of public organizations cuts across the traditional public versus private sector division, as it recognizes that increasingly, a variety of organizations in the private sector (non-profits, NGOs, social enterprises, charities etc.) are involved in delivering public services either alone or in collaboration with governments. Areas of interest include but are not restricted to: the motivation of workers, managers and owners of public organizations, management and organizational practices in the delivery of public services, the funding of public organizations through philanthropy and other means, the role of partnerships between the government and public organizations and the scope for regulation. Both theoretical and empirical (experimental/field) contributions are welcome. more Information
