Title: | Measuring Red Rape in a Hospital Setting: A Survey Experiment | Authors: | LUYTEN, Janis MARNEFFE, Wim |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD | Source: | INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF ADMINISTRATIVE SCIENCES, OnlineFirst (0) , p. 1 -20 | Abstract: | Public administration research is actively exploring alternatives for the General Red Tape (GRT) scale to measure red tape. Due to increasing criticism on the GRT scale, scholars proposed the Three-Item Red Tape (TIRT) scale as an alternative. Using a repeated cross-sectional design, this article tests both scales in a before-after analysis of a major change in the organization of administration in a hospital. The results indicate that the GRT scale does not capture the resulting major change in red tape, which raises questions on the instrument’s validity in a bottom-up research design within one organization. The TIRT scale, however, which measures red tape at the work environment level, does reflect the change in red tape but shows empirical weaknesses in its design. Additionally, by randomly assigning respondents to substantially different red tape definitions, this article shows that the red tape definition does not significantly impact respondents’ GRT ratings. | Keywords: | General Red Tape scale;hospital;public administration;red tape;survey experiment;Three-Item Red Tape scale | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/36652 | ISSN: | 0020-8523 | e-ISSN: | 1461-7226 | DOI: | 10.1177/00208523211073498 | ISI #: | 000753346600001 | Rights: | The Author(s) 2022 Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution | Validations: | ecoom 2023 |
