Overview

Surveying attitudes reveals public service organisations favor participation by clients and sectoral organisations, indicating gaps in appreciation for citizen involvement.

Key Points

  • Public service organisations show a preference for client participation in policy-making, highlighting the importance of stakeholder input.
  • Overall, client participation is prioritized over other modes by public service organisations as they navigate policy-making.
  • This analysis evaluates the attitudes of public service organisations towards participatory policy-making within mixed-form markets.
  • Findings suggest that not all public service organisations fully recognize the benefits of broader citizen participation.
