Hiring activities refers to indeterminate and term appointments to the public service, the hiring of casuals as per subsection 50(1) of the Public Service Employment Act (PSEA) and the hiring of students under the Student Employment Programs Participants Exclusion Approval Order. Indeterminate and term appointments to the public service include appointments from the general public, including former casuals, students and employees of government organizations that are not subject to the PSEA. Staffing activities to and within the public service include appointments to the public service as well as promotions, lateral and downward movements and acting appointments of indeterminate and term employees. Deployments of employees within or between organizations that are subject to the PSEA are counted in lateral and downward movements. Hiring and staffing activities data are derived from information received from the Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) Incumbent File. This file is extracted from the Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) pay system. The Public Service Commission (PSC) has developed a series of algorithms that are used to produce the PSC’s official record of hiring and staffing activities across the federal public service, based on pay records submitted by organizations. Recruitment data for the Recruitment of Policy Leaders Initiative and the Post-Secondary Recruitment Program are based on individuals who have applied to these programs through the PSC’s Public Service Resourcing System (PSRS) and where a match was found in the PSC hiring and staffing activities file covering the current fiscal year.

In recent years, the movement of personnel from the public sector to interest groups has garnered considerable attention throughout Europe. Consequently, there has been an increased focus on the phenomenon of revolving door lobbyists within academic literature. This research contributes to this scholarly discussion by examining how the employment of such lobbyists facilitates access. We argue that interest groups gain advantages by recruiting individuals from the public sector in policy domains with limited mobilization, but this benefit decreases as more interest groups mobilize. Our analysis of survey data from seven European political systems supports these expectations, indicating that recruiting professionals with experience in the public sector enhances access, especially in policy areas with minimal lobbying activity. This highlights the potential for interest mobilization to counterbalance the advantages of hiring revolving door lobbyists.

Quarterly CVS data on labour movements in establishments in metropolitan France in the competitive market sector. These quarterly series have provided since 1999, by sector and size of establishments (together, establishments with more than 10 employees, 10 to 49 employees and more than 50 employees) the different rates relating to the movement of labour in establishments in metropolitan France in the competitive market sector (in particular, public administrations, local and regional authorities, the main public establishments, establishments under the National Defence and temporary work establishments).

The public sector (administrations, public establishments/enterprises, local authorities, etc.) produces a large amount of information that is potentially reusable (open data) by users. This information, multiple and varied, covers political, economic, social, demographic, meteorological or touristic fields that are likely to contribute to the improvement of services provided to users and the development of the digital economy by creating new innovative services. Indeed, this data constitutes an intangible heritage which can be highlighted for different users: Researchers who can find material there to feed their work and experiments; Developers who can create innovative services using this data; Citizens and journalists who find raw information there; Companies that can add value to this data, and thus create jobs and wealth. Open Data consists of exposing, with free and open access, data produced by the organizations and institutions concerned at the level of the national open data portal and/or the portals of these organizations and institutions using open, standard and documented formats to facilitate the exploitation and reuse of this data. The main objective of opening data is to: Strengthen transparency and openness at the administrative level (administrations, public establishments and companies, local authorities, etc.); Facilitate access to public data by citizens, businesses, etc.; Propose new resources for economic and social innovation and create economic value for businesses. In recent years, Morocco has joined the Open Data movement and has made efforts to ensure the emergence of a digital ecosystem, particularly that linked to Open Data, and to ensure its development with a view to benefiting the administration, businesses and citizens from the positive repercussions thereof. Thus, and as part of the implementation of the action plan resulting from the ODRA (Open Data Readiness Assessment) study on the development of Open Data in Morocco, which recommends the adoption of a common national open data platform while leaving the possibility for organizations and institutions that wish to set up their own portal, the Digital Development Agency (ADD) has launched a new version of the national open data portal www.data.gov.ma, with a view to maximizing the impact of opening and sharing public data at the national level and promoting the transparency of the Administration towards users (citizens and businesses). This initiative is also part of the implementation of Morocco's commitments in terms of Open Government, in particular the commitment relating to strengthening the publication and reuse of open data, the implementation of which is coordinated by the ADD. The data collected and published at the portal level come mainly from administrations, public establishments and companies, and local authorities: Data from surveys/collections; Public statistics and indicators; Location data of the infrastructures managed by these organizations and institutions; Data comprising the repositories maintained by these organizations and institutions. The portal www.data.gov.ma , which was initially launched in 2011 by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Digital Economy, is currently managed by the Digital Development Agency

The below files are Supplementary Materials for “Between Innovation and Inertia: An Innovation Resistance Theory-Based Investigation of Barriers to Data Sharing by Public Organizations” study.

Despite global movements toward data-driven innovation and sustainability across sectors, public agencies continue to face resistance when it comes to data sharing as open government data (OGD). As we transition into the fourth wave of open data—a phase that emphasizes inclusive data reuse beyond traditional publication norms—understanding this resistance becomes increasingly critical. While existing research has explored factors impacting the public organizations’ intention to share data, there is a paucity of research applying theoretical models to investigate the resistance by public organizations to making government data publicly available. This study addresses the gap by developing and empirically validating an Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) model tailored to OGD -IRT4DS (IRT For Data Sharing)- that allows identifying predictors of resistance among public agencies. These barriers span functional (usage, value, risk) and psychological (tradition, image) dimensions. The model is refined through interviews with 25 representatives across 21 public agencies in six countries with varied open data maturity levels. The findings contribute to the literature by adapting IRT to the context of OGD amid the evolving open data paradigm, an area where its application has been notably limited. As such, this study addresses the growing demand for novel theoretical frameworks to examine OGD adoption barriers. Practical insights -uncovered dominant resistance factors- support policymakers in designing inclusive data ecosystems that account for institutional resistance and address challenges in OGD adoption.

The below files are (1) research contexts for IRT applications as implies form the literature review that informed the developement of the Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) model tailored to OGD -IRT4DS (IRT For Data Sharing), (2) the interview instrument developed by transforming the developed model and its individual barriers (i.e., items) into an interview protocol.

Abstract (en): The Michigan Public Policy Survey (MPPS) is a program of state-wide surveys of local government leaders in Michigan. The MPPS is designed to fill an important information gap in the policymaking process. While there are ongoing surveys of the business community and of the citizens of Michigan, before the MPPS there were no ongoing surveys of local government officials that were representative of all general purpose local governments in the state. Therefore, while we knew the policy priorities and views of the state's businesses and citizens, we knew very little about the views of the local officials who are so important to the economies and community life throughout Michigan. The MPPS was launched in 2009 by the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP) at the University of Michigan and is conducted in partnership with the Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Municipal League, and Michigan Townships Association. The associations provide CLOSUP with contact information for the survey's respondents, and consult on survey topics. CLOSUP makes all decisions on survey design, data analysis, and reporting, and receives no funding support from the associations. The surveys investigate local officials' opinions and perspectives on a variety of important public policy issues and solicit factual information about their localities relevant to policymaking. Over time, the program has covered issues such as fiscal, budgetary and operational policy, fiscal health, public sector compensation, workforce development, local-state governmental relations, intergovernmental collaboration, economic development strategies and initiatives such as placemaking and economic gardening, the role of local government in environmental sustainability, energy topics such as hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") and wind power, trust in government, views on state policymaker performance, opinions on the impacts of the Federal Stimulus Program (ARRA), and more. The program will investigate many other issues relevant to local and state policy in the future. A searchable database of every question the MPPS has asked is available on CLOSUP's website. Results of MPPS surveys are currently available as reports, and via online data tables. The MPPS datasets are being released in two forms: public-use datasets and restricted-use datasets. Unlike the public-use datasets, the restricted-use datasets represent full MPPS survey waves, and include all of the survey questions from a wave. Restricted-use datasets also allow for multiple waves to be linked together for longitudinal analysis. The MPPS staff do still modify these restricted-use datasets to remove jurisdiction and respondent identifiers and to recode other variables in order to protect confidentiality. However, it is theoretically possible that a researcher might be able, in some rare cases, to use enough variables from a full dataset to identify a unique jurisdiction, so access to these datasets is restricted and approved on a case-by-case basis. CLOSUP encourages researchers interested in the MPPS to review the codebooks included in this data collection to see the full list of variables including those not found in the public-use datasets, and to explore the MPPS data using the public-use datasets. On 2016-08-20, the openICPSR web site was moved to new software. In the migration process, some projects were not published in the new system because the decisions made in the old site did not map easily to the new setup. This project is temporarily available as restricted data while ICPSR verifies that all files were migrated correctly.

The New Earnings Survey is almost certainly the most detailed and comprehensive earnings series anywhere in the world. It is a one in a hundred sample survey of employees in Britain, giving information on aspects of earnings and employment based on a week in April each year. The NES enquiry is conducted by the Department of Employment under the provisions of the Statistics of Trade Act (1947). Under the terms of this Act, data so obtained and relating solely to any individual may not be released into the public domain. All the data described here are in a form that ensures that there is no disclosure of individual information. They have been processed into a minimally aggregated form approved by the Department of Employment: any data record released relates to an aggregate of not less than three individuals.
Main Topics:
The dataset consists of fourteen separate extract data files from the original New Earnings Survey files held by the Department of Employment. Each extract file had been constructed to allow investigation of a particular aspect of the data contained in the Survey, as follows:
AGG01 National Collective Agreements
AGG02 Manual Skill Differentials
AGG03 Regional Implications
AGG04 Age implications
AGG05 Dispersion of Pay within Occupations
AGG06 Shiftwork
AGG07 Pay in relation to hours worked
AGG08 Public/Private Sector Pay Movements
AGG09 White Collar Pay Movements
AGG10 Sex Differentials
AGG11 Incentive Pay and Payment Schemes
AGG12 Incentive Payment Schemes and Age
AGG14 Pay in Relation to Size of Company and Plant
AGG15 Pay in Relation to Company Size and Region
Eight of the aggregate files (numbers 2,3,4,5,7,8,9 and 10) relate to dimensions recorded in the Survey in each year and comprise 13 annual files, one for each year 1970-1982. A further two aggregate files (numbers 1 and 6) contain 10 annual files for the years 1973-1982 inclusive, omitting the years 1970-1972, AGG01, due to the introduction of new occupations codes in 1973, and AGG06 due to the lack of shift pay premium prior to 1973. The remaining four files (numbers 11,12,14 and 15) relate to a single year only and are based on the special question included in that year.
