This paper develops and illustrates the use of two methodologies to analyze the effect of unions on productivity in the public sector. Although the methodologies are applicable to a wide variety of public sector functions, the focus of the paper is on municipal libraries because of the availability of relevant data. The empirical analysis, which uses 1977 cross-section data on 260 libraries, suggests that collective bargaining coverage has not significantly affected productivity in municipal libraries.

Computing is a powerful health resource that contributes to the improved quality of health services provided by medical units. This study aimed to investigate Greek physicians' views on the electronic health card. Between February 2019 to April 2019, 116 physicians from three hospitals in the broad area of Athens completed a self-administered questionnaire related to the use of the Internet, the electronic health card, and information technology in health. The results were analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0. A positive assessment of the model in terms of its potential public health benefits was found. Obstacles to the management of health information systems and the high cost must be taken into account. The smart card is a possible channel for improving the quality of the services provided, making significant progress in the units of the national health system but the implementation cost and the ways of managing it must also be taken into consideration.

In this era of globalization, does democracy in Asia have a mediating impact on a country's public sector? As the first empirical analysis focused solely on Asian countries, this paper finds that, in general, democracies are associated with a larger government. In particular, democracies more exposed to the global trade have larger public economies. This is not the case, however, in democracies more dependent on foreign direct investment.

Dougherty et al. posit that production of complex innovations requires that ecologies be organized, involving three activities: orchestrating knowledge capabilities, ongoing strategizing to frame and direct continuous innovation, and developing public policy to embrace ambiguity. Our study aims to understand how such ecologies emerge. Based on a longitudinal case study, performed in the context of the Quebec health system, our results suggest (a) that the emergence of innovations in highly institutionalized fields requires an additional activity, namely, working on boundaries to make actors perceive their interdependences (b) some levers that can foster the implementation of the model.
