#WilmasReview of the week:

Wilma 🐶 sometimes dreams of being a queen, especially when an exciting new year starts. As the Danish crown prince is promoted to king 👑 today, Wilma has found a recent study in Academy of Management Journal that shows that managers whose subordinates are promoted more often attract more and better internal candidates.

Wilma 🐶 feels like Rudolph 🦌 this year - happy to help Santa 🎅 even without a red nose 🔴

Did you have a red nose at this year's company Christmas party? And how do employees feel about alcohol at the company Christmas party?

#WilmasReview of the week:

Sometimes Wilma 🐶 feels trapped by all the work. She doesn't even know how she ended up in this situation ❔

But does workload negatively affect there work outcomes of public sector employees? Recent research by Elizabeth Bell, Ph.D. and Meyer find that reducing street-level bureaucrats’ workload can be a lever for reducing disparities, such as lower program access of minorities.

#WilmasReview of the week:
Wilma 🐶 must be resilient these days: all the beautiful snow is gone again.
But what role does resilience play?

A survey study with German public employees shows that individual resilience is related to job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion.

Wilma thinks that future research should also consider snow around Christmas as a determinant. ☃

#WilmasReview of the week:

In these freezing temperatures, Wilma 🐶 wonders whether politicians' salaries should be frozen, like some citizens might say?

R. Pedersen and Lene Holm Pedersen show in their study that trust in politicians is a key predictor of attitudes regarding their pay. "Distrust toward politicians seems to matter much more than general attitudes on income inequality when citizens form opinions on politicians’ pay."

Wilma 🐶 joining the dark side? 👿
Wilma tries her new role as imperator to explore how populist leaders affect corruption. However, the new study by Zhang in the Journal Governance shows that countries with a populist leader often face a substantial increase in executive corruption, not a "drained swamp".

Wilma fears flooding if the water spills over... 😱

Spillover is not only a challenge when it rains a lot but also for #evidencebased #policymaking. A joint study with Ternovski, Jilke and @dominikvogel shows that field experiments may not capture the influence of social networks/ risk missing spillover effects. Using a population-level field experiment to test whether a policy scales can help avoid undesired outcomes.

Wilma is a #postdog working in the #publicsector. Does that imply that she makes fewer errors than private sector dogs or ducks? Hard to say. But is work of higher quality when performed under public compared to private ownership? Find out more about this in a new article by Simon Calmar Andersen, Morten Bruntse, Oliver James and Sebastian Jilke.

PS: The study finds that using #socialmedia to interact with others could also deteriorate policy creativity because of social media stress - so Wilma will take a break. 🍭
