20世纪末和21世纪初出现了新的治理形式，打开了通往“新型公共服务”、“多部门公共服务”和“代理人国家”等不同描述的大门。随着政府权力的分散，我们越来越依赖这些新的公务员提供服务和执行政策。但现在谁是国家的代理人呢？新的公共服务机构的组成变化会如何改变我们对民主治理的期望？我们在本研究中调查的问题是，首先，既然公共部门已经转型，那么新的治理机构的特征是什么？用查尔斯·古德塞尔的话来说，新的公务员是“普通人”吗？我们利用综合社会调查来阐明我们的重点问题。我们的研究结果表明，营利性机构的公务员在许多方面与传统的公务员相似。非营利机构中不断增长的社会、卫生和教育公务员队伍在许多方面与公务员和营利机构的公务员不同。在转型治理的时代，公共部门的变化构成的影响进行了讨论。
The latter 20th and beginning of the 21st century have ushered in new forms of governance, opening the gates to what has been variously described as a “new public service,” a “multisectored public service,” and a “state of agents.” As government authority is dispersed, we increasingly rely on these new public servants for service delivery and policy implementation. But who are now the agents of the state? How might the changed makeup of a new public service alter our expectations about democratic governance? The questions we investigate in this study are, first, now that the public sector has been transformed, what are the characteristics of the agents of the new governance? And are the new public servants, in the words of Charles Goodsell, “ordinary people”? We use the General Social Survey to shed light on our focal question. Our results suggest that public servants in for-profit settings resemble traditional civil servants in many ways. The growing ranks of social, health, and education public servants in nonprofit settings are distinct in many ways from civil servants and for-profit public servants. Implications of the changing composition of the public sector in an era of transformed governance are discussed.
