20.500.12556/RUL-152809 Investigating public governance models in Slovenia and Japan a comparative survey on state and local government Public administration and governance must adapt to the changing socio-economic environment, improving quality, process efficiency, and collaboration. Hence, public administration and public governance models have been significantly modified multiple times, resulting in differences in public governance practices. This paper examines different public governance models’ principles in Slovene and Japanese public administration. It quantifies elements based on the models' principles and applies them to an empirical case using a survey of 55 Slovene and 135 Japanese public managers. The independent samples t-test examines the differences in characteristics of public governance practices between state administration and local government in Slovenia and Japan. The results show that state administration institutions in both countries are strongly characterised by the (Neo)Weberian model’s principles, while Slovenia's local government leans towards Digital-era governance (DEG) and good governance (GG) principles. Japan's state and local administrations show equal presence of New public management (NPM), DEG, and GG models. The study aims to bridge a research gap by providing new findings on how different public governance models can be found at various Slovene and Japanese public administration levels and offers insights for public managers and policymakers for future public administration reforms. public governance models comparative analysis Slovenia Japan modeli javnega upravljanja primerjalna analiza Slovenija Japonska true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-12-07 09:25:31 2023-12-07 09:25:35 2023-12-08 03:48:25 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 6-25 Iss. 41 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 35(497.4)(520) 2559-6489 10.24818/amp/2023.41-01 176370179 RAZ_Aristovnik_Aleksander_2023.pdf RAZ_Aristovnik_Aleksander_2023.pdf 1 C18F8D8B3BA7106A42610B755745125F 1165e4fc9df35a0a9cda03519886b13617547959708ee6cbf4a99baa305f1971 32e1d63d-94da-11ee-88f2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178477 https://ramp.ase.ro/ 0 2379d613-94db-11ee-88f2-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=178481 Fakulteta za upravo 0 0 0
