Fabian Hattke is an Associate Professor at the Department of Administration and Organization Theory at the University of Bergen. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Chair for Organization and Leadership at the University of Hamburg and affiliated with the Center for Higher Education and Science Studies at the University of Zürich.
The aim of Fabian’s research is to improve public sector organizations so they can provide a high quality of public goods. He takes a multi-level approach for investigating how institutional frameworks affect administrative structures and processes and how these organizational designs, in turn, influence cognition, emotion, and behavior of civil servants and citizens. Current projects concern the “dark side” of bureaucracy (the burdens imposed by government regulations and administrative procedures), public leadership (implicit stereotypes about public leaders), and public personnel management (motivational antecedents of civil servant careers).
Fabian’s works have received several awards, among them the Christopher Pollitt Prize of the International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPM), the Carlo Masini Award from the Public and Nonprofit Division of the Academy of Management (AoM), and the Best Paper Award by the Commission Academic Management of the German Academic Association for Business Research (VHB).
Prior to his position as an Associate Professor at the University of Bergen, Fabian served six years as a Deputy Professor for Organization and Leadership at the University of Hamburg. He has conducted several visiting fellowships during this time, inter alia at CBS Copenhagen Business School and the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy & Public Administration at George Washington University.
Fabian holds a PhD from the Faculty of Social Science and Economics at the University of Hamburg, a Diploma in Economics from the University of Heidelberg, and has several years of practical experience as a consultant.
