Public Management Review, 2025, vol. 27, issue 11, 2615-2642

Abstract: This paper presents a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA approach (final sample of 95 records) that investigates how public – private hybrid organizations (HOs) in the public sector have been studied in the literature. Specifically, this work adopts an organizational perspective to develop an analytical framework based on three dimensions: the relationship between HOs and their environment, the organizational manifestations of hybridity and the outputs of HOs. By providing conceptual clarity on the construct of HOs, this work identifies spaces for cross-fertilization between HOs and analogous – yet distinct – constructs, such as public – private partnerships and corporatization.
