Practitioners and good government proponents have repeatedly decried bureaucrat-bashing for the dangers it poses to the morale of public employees. Academics, particularly public administration scholars, have posited that bureaucrat-bashing undermines Americans' support for public programs (Barth, 2010; Garrett, Thurber, Fritschler, & Rosenbloom, 2006; Haque, 1998), their interest in a career in public service (Baldwin, 1990; Garrett et al., 2006; Ingraham & Peters, 1988; Mann, 2006), and their support for work benefits for public employees (Roberts, 2012). Furthermore, scholars have also hypothesized that bureaucrat-bashing weakens public employees' job satisfaction (Chen & Bozeman, 2014; Garrett et al., 2006; Ting, 1997; Volcker, 1990), intrinsic motivation (Chen & Bozeman, 2014; Jahan & Shahan, 2012), and commitment to public service (Baldwin, 1990; Ingraham & Peters, 1988; Yang & Pandey, 2009).

520 $a Practitioners and good government proponents have repeatedly decried bureaucrat-bashing for the dangers it poses to the morale of public employees. Academics, particularly public administration scholars, have posited that bureaucrat-bashing undermines Americans' support for public programs (Barth, 2010; Garrett, Thurber, Fritschler, & Rosenbloom, 2006; Haque, 1998), their interest in a career in public service (Baldwin, 1990; Garrett et al., 2006; Ingraham & Peters, 1988; Mann, 2006), and their support for work benefits for public employees (Roberts, 2012). Furthermore, scholars have also hypothesized that bureaucrat-bashing weakens public employees' job satisfaction (Chen & Bozeman, 2014; Garrett et al., 2006; Ting, 1997; Volcker, 1990), intrinsic motivation (Chen & Bozeman, 2014; Jahan & Shahan, 2012), and commitment to public service (Baldwin, 1990; Ingraham & Peters, 1988; Yang & Pandey, 2009).
520 $a Despite these claims, no empirical studies have quantified the effects of bureaucrat-bashing on citizens' attitudes towards public employees, nor on the morale of public employees. The paucity of empirical research on this topic results from scholars' struggle to define and measure bureaucrat-bashing. This dissertation addresses the research gap by clearly defining bureaucrat-bashing and measuring its effects on citizens and public employees. This dissertation also identifies the factors that influence whether members of congress frame public employees in a positive or negative light, as a means to better understand which government workers and which government agencies are most at risk of losing public support and when.
