Welcome<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to my personal web page. I am Xavier Ballart,<\/strong> Professor of Political and Administrative Sciences at Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. This web page is intended to keep people informed about my academic and professional activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first research interest was centered on the evaluation of public policies<\/strong> and on the use of different methods to analyze the effects of public interventions in various policy areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also dedicated some years to the study of public administration<\/strong>, mostly in Spain but with a open perspective of developments in other European countries including the EU Commission. This initial interest evolved into the study of successful cases of innovation<\/strong> and has been more connected to teaching than the other streams of my research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last ten years I have worked on public service motivation<\/strong> (PSM) and on the performance <\/strong>of public services. Concerning PSM, I have worked on job selection and the role of PSM, on the measurement of PSM and on the relation between PSM and unethical behavior. My recent research on public services performance connects with my initial interest on public policy evaluation and it has produced various studies on the relation between objective and subjective measures of performance and on factors that influence the relations among citizens\u2019 expectations, perceived performance and satisfaction with public services. One recent research stream has chosen public primary health services as the object of analysis. I have worker on the comparative analysis of the performance of primary health centers and on the impact of management autonomy on their results and on the motivation of professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new line of inquiry that I am currently developing focusses on administrative burden<\/strong> on both citizens and professionals. I have started to work on the effects on professionals and their motivation but I would like to include the effects of administrative burden on citizen satisfaction with public services. A rather natural development of administrative burden is the analysis of the barriers that citizens experiment in their relation with public administration, particularly vulnerable population. This is something I hope to include in my research agenda in the coming years.     <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenidos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenidos a mi p\u00e1gina personal. Soy Xavier Ballart, Catedr\u00e1tico de Ciencia Pol\u00edtica y de la Administraci\u00f3n en la UAB. Esta web ha sido dise\u00f1ada con la intenci\u00f3n de ofrecer informaci\u00f3n sobre mis actividades acad\u00e9micas y profesionales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mi inter\u00e9s inicial de investigaci\u00f3n se centr\u00f3 en la evaluaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas y en el uso de diferentes m\u00e9todos para analizar los efectos de las intervenciones p\u00fablicas en diversas \u00e1reas de pol\u00edtica p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tambi\u00e9n dediqu\u00e9 algunos a\u00f1os al estudio de la administraci\u00f3n p\u00fablica, principalmente espa\u00f1ola, pero con una perspectiva abierta de los cambios en otros pa\u00edses europeos, incluida la Comisi\u00f3n de la UE. Este inter\u00e9s evolucion\u00f3 hacia el estudio de casos de \u00e9xito de innovaci\u00f3n que he intentado conectar con la docencia y con el desarrollo de un programa de casos en la UAB que ahora retoma un nuevo impulso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En los \u00faltimos diez a\u00f1os he trabajado en la motivaci\u00f3n para el servicio p\u00fablico (PSM) y en el an\u00e1lisis de la performance de los servicios p\u00fablicos. En cuanto a PSM, he trabajado en las opciones de carrera profesional y en el role de la PSM en estas decisiones, en la medici\u00f3n de PSM y en la relaci\u00f3n entre PSM y comportamiento no \u00e9tico. Mi investigaci\u00f3n reciente sobre performance de los servicios p\u00fablicos conecta con mi inter\u00e9s inicial en la evaluaci\u00f3n de pol\u00edticas p\u00fablicas y ha producido varios estudios sobre la relaci\u00f3n entre las medidas objetivas y subjetivas de performance y sobre los factores que influyen en las relaciones entre las expectativas de los ciudadanos, la performance percibida y la satisfacci\u00f3n con los servicios. Mi l\u00ednea de investigaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s reciente se centra en los servicios p\u00fablicos de atenci\u00f3n primaria en sanidad desarrollando el an\u00e1lisis comparativo de la performance de los centros de atenci\u00f3n primaria y el estudio del impacto de una mayor autonom\u00eda de gesti\u00f3n en sus resultados y en la motivaci\u00f3n de los profesionales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una nueva l\u00ednea de investigaci\u00f3n que empiezo a desarrollar se centra en la carga administrativa (administrative burden) tanto para los ciudadanos como para los profesionales. Inicialmente he optado por trabajar sobre los efectos en los profesionales y su motivaci\u00f3n, pero me gustar\u00eda incluir los efectos de la carga administrativa en la satisfacci\u00f3n de los ciudadanos con los servicios p\u00fablicos. Un desarrollo bastante natural de los estudios de administrative burden consiste en analizar las barreras que experimentan los ciudadanos en su relaci\u00f3n con la administraci\u00f3n p\u00fablica, especialmente la poblaci\u00f3n vulnerable. Esta es una cuesti\u00f3n que espero incluir en mi agenda de investigaci\u00f3n en los pr\u00f3ximos a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benvinguts <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Benvinguts a la meva p\u00e0gina personal. Soc Xavier Ballart, Catedr\u00e0tic de Ci\u00e8ncia Pol\u00edtica i de l\u2019Administraci\u00f3 de la UAB. En aquesta web trobareu informaci\u00f3 sobre les meves activitats acad\u00e8miques i professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El meu primer inter\u00e8s de recerca es va centrar en l’avaluaci\u00f3 de pol\u00edtiques p\u00fabliques i en l’\u00fas de diferents m\u00e8todes per analitzar els efectes de les intervencions p\u00fabliques en diverses \u00e0rees de pol\u00edtica p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamb\u00e9 vaig dedicar alguns anys a l’estudi de l’administraci\u00f3 p\u00fablica, principalment espanyola per\u00f2 amb una perspectiva oberta dels canvis a altres pa\u00efsos europeus, inclosa la Comissi\u00f3 de la UE. Aquest inter\u00e8s inicial va evolucionar cap a l\u2019estudi de casos d\u2019\u00e8xit d\u2019innovaci\u00f3 que he intentat connectar amb la doc\u00e8ncia i amb el desenvolupament d\u2019un programa de casos a la UAB que ara estic impulsant amb nous casos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En els darrers deu anys he treballat en la motivaci\u00f3 per al servei p\u00fablic (PSM) i en l’an\u00e0lisi de la performance dels serveis p\u00fablics. Pel que fa a PSM, he treballat en les opcions de carrera professionals i en el rol de la PSM en aquestes decisions, en la mesura de PSM i en la relaci\u00f3 entre PSM i comportament no \u00e8tic. La meva investigaci\u00f3 recent sobre performance dels serveis p\u00fablics connecta amb el meu inter\u00e8s inicial en l’avaluaci\u00f3 de pol\u00edtiques p\u00fabliques i ha produ\u00eft diversos estudis sobre la relaci\u00f3 entre les mesures objectives i subjectives de performance i sobre els factors que influeixen en les relacions entre les expectatives dels ciutadans, la performance percebuda i la satisfacci\u00f3 amb els serveis. La meva l\u00ednia de recerca m\u00e9s recent se centra en els serveis p\u00fablics d’atenci\u00f3 prim\u00e0ria a la sanitat, en l’an\u00e0lisi comparativa de la performance dels centres d’atenci\u00f3 prim\u00e0ria i en l’impacte d\u2019una major autonomia de gesti\u00f3 en els resultats i en la motivaci\u00f3 dels professionals. Una nova l\u00ednia de recerca que comen\u00e7o a desenvolupar es centra en la c\u00e0rrega administrativa (administrative burden) tant pels ciutadans com pels professionals. Inicialment he optat per treballar sobre els efectes en els professionals i la seva motivaci\u00f3, per\u00f2 m’agradaria incloure els efectes de la c\u00e0rrega administrativa en la satisfacci\u00f3 dels ciutadans amb els serveis p\u00fablics. Un desenvolupament for\u00e7a natural dels estudis de c\u00e0rrega administrativa consisteix a analitzar les barreres que experimenten els ciutadans en la relaci\u00f3 amb l’administraci\u00f3 p\u00fablica, especialment la poblaci\u00f3 m\u00e9s vulnerable. Aquesta \u00e9s una q\u00fcesti\u00f3 que espero incloure a la meva agenda de recerca en els propers anys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
