Joris van der Voet studies how public managers bring about change to enhance effectiveness, adaptivity, and resilience of the public sector amidst a myriad of societal challenges, adverse performance, and declining financial resources. His research agenda informs public administration research and theory about managerial behavior in organizational change, cutback management, and innovation. His research agenda is also tightly coupled to prominent developments in public administration practice, including strategic reorientations to improve organizational performance, fiscal retrenchment following economic downturn, and large-scale governance decentralizations. Joris studies the behaviors of public managers that advance such reforms, mitigate negative effects, and make the intended benefits materialize in organizational practice.
