Public sector organizations are some of the most important organizations affecting the lives of millions of people around the globe, both as a source of employment and as a provider of thousands of programs affecting human wellbeing. From public hospitals to ministries of finance, court systems to education systems, public sector organizations are all around us, affecting life outcomes. Public sector organizations may be political or politicized, but they are also profoundly organizational. The PSEO summer workshop aims to consolidate existing research, foster interdisciplinary community, and address real-world challenges in public sector organizations. The workshop will include discussions, projects, organizational “hacks,” and opportunities for participants to workshop their own research.
