我们的研究探讨了在工党政府的现代化议程下，英国公共部门制定企业家领导力的可能性。为了证实我们的分析，我们从三个公共部门领域的领导者那里收集了数据——国家卫生服务、中学和继续教育（FE）学院。我们的研究提出了一个超越现有文献的公共部门企业家精神的定义。从本质上讲，我们认为公共部门的企业家精神以三个不同机构的结合为特征：“利益相关者”、“企业家”和“政治”。公共部门企业家在政治环境中识别市场机会，优化公共部门组织创新的绩效提升潜力，并以允许风险和承认公共部门资源管理的方式承载利益相关者。
Our study explores the possibility for the enactment of entrepreneurial leadership in the English public sector under the Labour government's modernization agenda. To substantiate our analysis, we draw upon data gathered from leaders in three public sector arenas - the National Health Service, secondary schools, and further education (FE) colleges. Our study proposes a definition of public sector entrepreneurship that extends beyond existing literature. In essence, we contend that public sector entrepreneurship is characterized by the combination of three distinct agencies: 'stakeholder', 'entrepreneurial' and 'political'. The public sector entrepreneur identifies market opportunities within the political landscape, optimizes the performance-enhancing potential of innovation for the public sector organization, and carries stakeholders in a way that both permits risk and recognizes the stewardship of public sector resources.
