Stillman, II and Jos C. N. Raadschelders Academic-Practitioner Exchange: President George W. Bush's Administrative Record, 2001-2007 Theory to Practice Robert F Durant, Editor Robert Kramer, Associate Editor Essays on Work Motivation and the Workplace W ith approximately two years remaining in his tenure as president, George W. Bush's administrative record is discussed from two perspectives. Noted presidential scholar James Pfiffner of George Mason University, citing President Bush's expectation that he would be remembered as a wartime president, examines presidential initiatives in foreign policy, homeland security, intelligence reorganization, and the management of the war in Iraq and subsequent occupation. Although he secured the adoption of his policy objectives, according to the author, the president's implementation has proved weak, at best. Former Senior Execu- tive Service careerist Jonathan D. Breul of the IBM Center for the Business of Government, by contrast, focuses on the president's key administrative reforms, particularly those launched before the 9/11 attacks. Breul concludes that President Bush has applied business administra- tion techniques with aplomb, but therein lie his limitations. 6 The First MBA President: George W. Bush as Public Administrator By James P. Pfiffner 21 Three Bush Administration Management Reform Initiatives: The President's Management Agenda, Freedom to Manage Legislative Proposals, and the Program Assessment Rating Tool By Jonathan D. Breul 28 Reinventing Administrative Prescriptions: The Case for Democratic-Constitutional Impact Statements and Scorecards By David H. Rosenbloom The reforms inspired by the New Public Management have emphasized performance and cost- effectiveness at the peril of other important values and considerations. Among these, according to the author, are individual civil rights, openness, and constitutional integrity. The essay asserts that the field of public administration has for too long sacrificed democratic- constitutional values in the name of cost-effectiveness and efficiency and should adopt impact statements and scorecards that forecast and measure the performance of policies and practices along these important dimensions. Similar reforms in the areas of environmentalism and federalism, among others, offer promising models.

Moynihan and Sanjay K. Pandey Building on James Perry's process theory of public service motivation, this study seeks to isolate organizational contributors to work motivation from social and historical factors and to gauge the relative importance of the two. What do public employees bring to the job, and what do they acquire on the job with respect to commitment and performance? Table of Contents 1
