摘要
This article draws lessons from a set of innovative programs carried out by a state government in Brazil, now widely acclaimed for excellence in public management. Key to the high performance was strong worker commitment to the job, and what the state did to elicitit - a topic of little note in the development literature but of central importance in the literature of industrial performance and workplace transformation in the industrialized countries. The state created an unusual sense of ''calling'' among the program's workers, new prestige in the communities where they worked, and an informed citizenry that both monitored the workers and trusted them.
