International Review of Administrative SciencesSummary: The main research questions in this article are to what degree New Public Management (NPM) and post-NPM) reform elements have been perceived as relevant or significant in the Norwegian civil service; what have been the most significant reform elements; and how to explain to variation in the perceived significance to other structural factors and to demographic and cultural features? The empirical data used in the analysis are taken mainly from surveys of civil servants in the Norwegian ministries conducted in 1996 and 2006. A general finding is that cultural features make a significant difference, but have a leadership position and task structure also have explanatory power. Generally, we face a combination of robustness and amenability to administrative policy reforms. - Reproduced.
