Innovation has been highlighted as a magic formula that can solve deep-seated, emerging complex social and economic problems in the public service sector. However, public innovation efforts face both drivers and barriers. Innovation depends on context, and currently different competing governance paradigms’ influence has attracted growing academic and political interest regarding the potential of public service innovation. Today, new public governance (NPG) has been suggested as an alternative paradigm to classic public administration (CPA) and new public management (NPM), as the focus of attention has shifted from traditional hierarchical forms of government and market-based competition strategies to interactive- and collaborative-based governance. In this paper, we discuss how elements from different governance paradigms interact, support and undermine one another in terms of innovation in hybrid organisations. Although hybridisation has been described in extant studies on administrative welfare reforms, it barely has been examined in the public innovation literature. This is a theoretical paper based on a scoping review; however, we use the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) as an illustrative case to explain how hybridisation may lead to both stimulations and perversions regarding the development, implementation and spread of public service innovation. Finally, the paper reflects on how public leaders can handle hybridity within their organisational units.

创新已被视为一种神奇的公式，可以解决公共服务部门根深蒂固的，正在出现的复杂的社会和经济问题。但是，公共创新努力既面临驱动力，也面临障碍。创新取决于环境，当前，不同的竞争治理范式的影响力引起了人们对公共服务创新潜力的日益浓厚的学术和政治兴趣。如今，由于关注的焦点已从传统的分级形式的政府和基于市场的竞争策略转移到了传统的公共管理（CPA）和新的公共管理（NPM），已经提出了新的公共治理（NPG）作为替代范例。基于交互和协作的治理。在本文中，我们讨论了来自不同治理范式的元素如何相互作用，在混合组织的创新方面相互支持和破坏。尽管在有关行政福利改革的现有研究中已经描述了混合，但是在公共创新文献中几乎没有对此进行过研究。这是一篇基于范围审查的理论论文；但是，我们以挪威劳工和福利局（NAV）为例，解释了混合动力如何导致公共服务创新发展，实施和传播的刺激和变态。最后，本文反映了公共领导者如何处理其组织单位内的混合性。在公共创新文献中几乎没有对此进行过研究。这是一篇基于范围审查的理论论文；但是，我们以挪威劳工和福利局（NAV）为例，解释了混合动力如何导致公共服务创新发展，实施和传播的刺激和变态。最后，本文反映了公共领导者如何处理其组织单位内的混合性。在公共创新文献中几乎没有对此进行过研究。这是一篇基于范围审查的理论论文；但是，我们以挪威劳工和福利局（NAV）为例，解释了混合动力如何导致公共服务创新发展，实施和传播的刺激和变态。最后，本文反映了公共领导者如何处理其组织单位内的混合性。
