Wilma 🐶 must be resilient these days: all the beautiful snow is gone again.
But what role does resilience play?
A survey study with German public employees shows that individual resilience is related to job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion.
Wilma thinks that future research should also consider snow around Christmas as a determinant. ☃

#WilmasReview of the week:
In these freezing temperatures, Wilma 🐶 wonders whether politicians' salaries should be frozen, like some citizens might say?
R. Pedersen and Lene Holm Pedersen show in their study that trust in politicians is a key predictor of attitudes regarding their pay. "Distrust toward politicians seems to matter much more than general attitudes on income inequality when citizens form opinions on politicians’ pay."

Wilma 🐶 joining the dark side? 👿
Wilma tries her new role as imperator to explore how populist leaders affect corruption. However, the new study by Zhang in the Journal Governance shows that countries with a populist leader often face a substantial increase in executive corruption, not a "drained swamp".

Wilma fears flooding if the water spills over... 😱
Spillover is not only a challenge when it rains a lot but also for #evidencebased #policymaking. A joint study with Ternovski, Jilke and @dominikvogel shows that field experiments may not capture the influence of social networks/ risk missing spillover effects. Using a population-level field experiment to test whether a policy scales can help avoid undesired outcomes.

Wilma 🐶 under cover... maybe not an effective strategy when applying for a male-dominated job?

Robotic dogs for the police? Wilma 🐶 is skeptical.
This study by Hohensinn, @jurgenwillems, Soliman, Vanderelst, and Stoll in Public Management Review investigates whether the perceived ethicalness of police actions changes when police follow an AI-robot’s advice.
Amongst other findings, the study concludes that there seem to be "reservations about using AI-driven service robots in public policing".

In stormy times, people might need an effective social safety net. Many people might not be able to access such benefits because of learning costs and stigma.

Like Wilma's fall walks 🍂, applying for a job contains many steps. Which information do job seekers access in which step?
A new study by Lee and Jilke demonstrates how job seekers consider different aspects of job alternatives during their job search. Further, they show that job seekers become less sensitive to differences between public and private sector organizations once more information becomes available.

🐶 fans know the concept - incentives 🍪 for good behavior. Does that work for humans?
Wilma is intrigued by the idea of incentives 🍪, just like many policy makers are when they consider using monetary incentives 💶 to motivate citizens.
In our research project (with S Jilke, J Ternovski, @dominikvogel and E Yoeli), we asked policy makers whether monetary incentives (40€) 💶 increase vaccination. Then we tested it with a whole city in Germany (more than 41,000 😷).

Wilma is not angry, just disappointed... 😩
A new article by R. Walker
J. Zhang, Y. Chandra, B. Dong, and Y. Wang shows that
