Description Replication Data for: A Replication of "Representative Bureaucracy and the Willingness to Coproduce"

Research on symbolic representation suggests that citizen-state interactions might benefit from public organizations’ representativeness. Recent experiments on symbolic gender representation provide contradictory findings regarding the influence on citizens’ co-production intentions. This study conducts a wide replication based on new data to reexamine the positive impact of symbolic gender representation identified by Riccucci, Van Ryzin, and Li (Public Administration Review 2016; 76(1): 121–130). The applied survey experiment closely resembles the original design aspects. The experiment is set in criminal justice policy, a policy field featuring co-production of core public services such as prisoner rehabilitation. The results do not confirm a positive effect of symbolic gender representation on willingness to co-produce. Instead, several arguments point to citizens’ perceptions of uncertainty related to the co-production context and procedures as a boundary condition for the effects of symbolic gender representation.
