Associate Professor Jeanette Taylor from the University of Western Australia wins Sam Richardson Award

The Institute of Public Administration Australia is pleased to announce that the 2020 Sam Richardson Award — for the most influential paper published in the Australian Journal of Public Administration in 2019 — has been awarded to Associate Professor Jeannette Taylor from the University of Western Australia.

Associate Professor Taylor’s award-winning paper ‘What causes employees to whistle while they work? Factors affecting internal whistle-blowing in the Australian Public Service’ was published in December 2019, and examines the impact of the nature of corruption, organisational culture, and employees’ work attitudes and actions on internal whistle-blowing in the APS.

Associate Professor Taylor’s paper was assessed by a judging panel that included leading public administration academics, representatives of the Institute of Public Administration Australia (IPAA), and young professionals from across the IPAA Divisions.

IPAA National President, Dr Gordon de Brouwer PSM, said that Associate Professor Taylor’s paper was original, innovative, topical and well-crafted.

‘It speaks to real life work problems for those in the public sector and is also an excellent, well-grounded paper with good empirical work and strong academic credentials.

The panel members were unanimous in their decision, believing that it makes an important scholarly contribution to theory as well as a practical contribution to public administration’.

Aashna Rampal, an Assistant Policy Officer with the NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment, was one of the members of the judging panel who assessed six short-listed papers for the Award and made the following observation of its universal value:

‘You don’t need to belong to the Australian Public Service or the public sector to be able to absorb the paper’s content, the data, the discussion and the evidence that’s backing it up.

Wherever you work culture is so important and its focus on culture is readily transferrable.’

It is expected that Associate Professor Taylor’s award-winning paper will have a significant and positive impact on public sector leaders and public servants across Australia.

Further information on the award, including past winners, is available from IPAA’s national website.

IPAA SA & Deloitte invite you exclusively to be a part of the new Future of Policy Series.

This series will comprise of 3 interactive sessions where you will have the opportunity to hear from subject experts on policy matters facing South Australia.

For the first session, we will focus on what South Australia’s growing population means for the state. Net interstate migration is up, which means more people living in Australia are choosing to relocate to SA and call Adelaide home, with fewer people leaving SA to move interstate. The increase in remote working as a result of tech-enabled change has led to opportunities for the state and demonstrate that people can work nationally, or even globally, irrespective of location.

We invite you to join us over a light lunch as we hear from Alison Lloydd-Wright, Department of the Premier & Cabinet, Executive Director – Population Strategy, Aaron Hill, Partner, Deloitte Access and Elizabeth Alvaro, Associate Director, Deloitte Access Economics, as they discuss the new possibilities for the state that these changes have unlocked. Also hear from members of the ‘ForceForty’ group, talented under 40s from all around Australia, who were attracted to SA to set up a business and the reasons they chose Adelaide.

Have your say in how we can build on this positive momentum and attract and retain more young people to secure Adelaide’s place as a globally competitive, mid-sized city.

Future sessions and topics to be announced in the coming weeks.
