    Collaborative Public Administration-A Dimension of Sustainable Development: Exploratory Study on Local Authorities in Romania
    (MDPI, 2024-03-14) Berceanu, Ionuț Bogdan; Nicolescu, Cristina Elena
    The contribution of sustainable public administration to the promotion of sustainable development is increasingly emphasized in the literature, including through an emerging and facilitating concept: collaborative administration. The sustainability of public organizations and of the public interventions carried out by these organizations is a central pillar of a modern administrative model, the desideratum of any government agenda. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to contribute to a more nuanced view on the relationship of sustainable development-institutional sustainability-collaborative dimension, covering some gaps that prevail in the literature by contextualizing the theoretical hypotheses in a case study. The novelty and added value of the research lies in establishing links between these three concepts by referring to a fourth concept: organizational intelligence. The study uses theoretical instruments, such as a questionnaire based on the design model proposed by Lefter et al., for the indirect assessment of the collaborative dimension. The outcomes demonstrate that the collaborative dimension of a public organization can be quantified using the proposed model. Moreover, organizational plans that promote the sustainability of public administration and sustainable development are identified. However, additional complementary studies are required to further investigate the cause-and-effect relationship between sustainable development, institutional sustainability, and collaborative dimensions.

    The Influence of Universities in the Activity of Local Public Administration from Romania
    (Accent Publishing House, 2025) Berceanu, Ionuț Bogdan; Cărăușanu, Mihaela Victorița; Zorzoană, Alina
    This paper explores the influence of universities in Romania on the activities of local public administration, emphasizing the alignment between administrative activities and their objectives. The study is grounded in the premise that collaboration between local authorities and academic institutions can enhance the achievement of sustainable development goals. The research investigates the extent to which universities contribute to shaping the objectives and activities of local administration. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, integrating the analysis of official public documents with administering questionnaires to local authorities in cities with major university centers across Romania. The anticipated findings are expected to reveal varying levels of university involvement, highlighting the role of academic expertise in policy formulation and the degree to which local administrations leverage the knowledge and resources of nearby academic institutions. This research underscores the potential for stronger university-local administration partnerships to drive more effective and sustainable governance.
