Summary: This study combines social cognitive and cognitive dissonance theories to investigate the impact of abusive supervision on public servants. Through the use of Hayes' Process macro and a study of 468 US public servants, it was found that abusive supervision is positively related to turnover intention through psychological distress. Notably, the negative effects of abusive supervision are more significant among subordinates who have a strong person-organization fit. With the retention challenges faced by the public sector, this research provides new insights into retaining well-matched personnel through the cultivation of positive workplace social connections.

Summary: This article points out that most scholarship focuses on foundations funding innovations rather than adopting innovative philanthropic practices. By analyzing the Ford Foundation's PRI Office and the Cooperative Assistance Fund, the study reveals that individual foundations have played a role in the adoption of PRIs, but the philanthropic sector as a whole lags behind the innovativeness of individual foundations.

Summary: Public policy initiatives, opinion surveys, and public rhetoric in Canada indicate that people prefer to die at home. The discourse and rhetoric emphasize home as the ideal place for care and death, naturalizing the preference for dying at home as common sense. More nuanced policy communications and transparency in evidence supporting policy are needed.

Summary: This study applied the job demands-resources theory to understand the relationship between volunteer demands and resources, and volunteers' well-being, retention, and mental health. The results showed that resources were positively related to retention through increased engagement. Contrary to expectations, resources also enhanced the positive relationship between demands and exhaustion. These findings emphasize the importance of providing relevant resources to volunteers to promote engagement and willingness to remain in the organization.

Summary: The article examines the European Union's response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine in the field of migration, arguing that EU visa and refugee policies encompassed a distinctive foreign policy and soft power dimension. This was achieved through the restriction of visas for Russia, signaling the delegitimization and isolation of the Kremlin, and the adoption of temporary protection for Ukrainians, sending a clear message of support to Ukraine and portraying the EU as the defender of freedom and democracy.

Summary: This paper presents an approach for analyzing the research on automated systems of governing. The authors find that the current research primarily focuses on the ontological, epistemological, and ideological aspects of these systems. They suggest that future research should investigate the complex marketization forms within these systems and conduct detailed empirical studies, while calling for more involvement of political science in this issue.

Summary: This study investigates Citizen Initiated Contacts (CICs) as a common mode of political participation and finds that citizens are increasingly contacting their political representatives instead of local government departments to resolve their issues. This is due to perceived issues with the knowledge and accessibility of local government departments, as well as difficulties in contacting and receiving responses from them.

Summary: This study examines the relationship between state-subsidized childcare provision and mothers' participation in job-related training. The results show that higher levels of childcare coverage can mitigate the negative impact of childbirth on mothers' training participation. However, even in areas with good childcare services, especially in West Germany, mothers still face training penalties.

Summary: This study addresses the lack of comprehensive knowledge on the degree of policy integration by developing a novel measurement approach and assessing the intersectorality of legal acts in the European Union over four decades. The findings reveal an overall increase in intersectoral policy-making, with significant variations between different policy sectors. This has important implications for the study of policy integration and EU policies.

Summary: This study evaluates public perceptions of relocation and home buyouts, finding that about 30% of households have dissonant perceptions of home buyout programs in relation to relocation. Among the respondents, those with higher risk perceptions and disaster experiences are more likely to consider relocating and participating in a home buyout, while those with dissonant perceptions do not have this inclination.

Summary: The Czech Republic has received the highest number of Ukrainian refugees per capita, but their underdeveloped migrant integration policy and limited experience with large numbers of refugees hindered their willingness to help. The initial phase of reception depended heavily on crisis teams, volunteers, and civil society organizations, and structural measures were necessary to accommodate the influx. The study shows that while the short-term migration policy has leaned towards better acceptance of migrants, there is a tendency to return to the original trajectory. Additionally, international organizations have had minimal influence on recent changes in migrant integration policy compared to domestic actors.

Summary: This article examines the effects of governance bodies' composition and orientation on individual subjective well-being in municipalities. The study finds no significant effects of political orientation at the municipal level, but political alternation, particularly in the case of replacing corrupt local governments, emerges as a relevant factor influencing subjective well-being. Furthermore, the fragmentation in the Spanish political landscape after the 2015 elections improved political competition and positively affected subjective well-being.

Summary: This study examines how street-level professionals implement a co-production strategy in their professional practices and explores the conflicts that arise during this process. It found that the translation choices of these professionals contribute to conflicts of varying forms and extents, and the way conflicts are managed determines the actual organizational change and acceptance of co-production.

Summary: This paper discusses analytical strategies developed in the context of computational social science, namely causal tree and forest, to help behavioural scientists harness the heterogeneity of treatment effects in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These techniques, which combine theoretical and data-driven approaches, are well-suited to exploit the rich information provided by large RCT studies.
