The impact of representative bureaucracy on public organizational performance has received a good deal of attention in public management. However, the literature provides little systematic rationalization about the effects of the individual constructs of representative bureaucracy on organizational performance. This meta-analysis of 648 effect sizes from 80 quantitative studies, closely examines the conditions under which bureaucratic representation affects public organizational performance. The research provides evidence on the relationship between different constructs of representative bureaucracy and organizational performance. This meta-analysis overall advances the theory of representative bureaucracy from several perspectives. It shows that the effects of representative bureaucracy on public organizational performance are positive in general, but that these effects are moderated by several contextual factors. And our finding that the effects of bureaucratic representation on public organizational performance was shaped by demographics and types of representation, levels of bureaucracy, and performance measurements adds to the micro-theory behind individual bureaucratic actions.

官僚代表如何影响公共组织绩效：元分析

代议制官僚制对公共组织绩效的影响在公共管理中受到了广泛关注。然而，关于代议制官僚制的个体结构对组织绩效的影响，文献几乎没有提供系统的合理化解释。这项对来自 80 项定量研究的 648 个效应量的元分析，仔细研究了官僚代表影响公共组织绩效的条件。该研究为代表官僚制的不同结构与组织绩效之间的关系提供了证据。这种元分析从几个角度总体上推进了代议制官僚制的理论。这表明代议制官僚制对公共组织绩效的影响总体上是积极的，但这些影响受到几个背景因素的影响。我们发现官僚代表对公共组织绩效的影响受人口统计和代表类型、官僚水平和绩效衡量的影响，这增加了个人官僚行为背后的微观理论.
