Abstract

This project will examine important and pressing issues across multiple disciplinary boundaries. Using concepts and measures from political science, public administration, psychology, economics, and organizational studies, I will conduct a comprehensive examination of the role of how individual psychological traits and economic and political preferences affect the behavior of public servants within the American bureaucratic state. While previous research has examined parts of this project in isolation, this will be the first attempt to unify the importance of the political and institutional contexts with the importance of the psychological and political characteristics of individual public servants. Findings will include which types of civil servants are best suited to work in agencies with fractured or contentious leadership, which types of civil servants are best suited to work for appointees chosen for reasons of patronage, and so forth. These results will form the basis of a grant proposal to the National Science Foundation, submissions to peer-reviewed journals, and (eventually) a book manuscript.
