In Search of Fundamental Fairness and Equal Protection
In July 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on two cases: Students for Fair Admissions vs. the University of North Carolina and Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, effectively prohibiting the use of race as one of many factors in college or university admissions decisions. To explore these two cases, we conducted a content analysis of the legal briefs, the final court ruling, concurrences, and dissents. In its…
Agency Variation in the Employment of Women in U.S. Federal STEM Jobs
This article provides an assessment of the employment of women in STEM occupations in the U.S. federal government. Women are underrepresented in STEM fields in the U.S. federal service, but their levels of employment vary markedly between departments and agencies. Women also quit federal STEM jobs in disproportionately large numbers, compared with men, and compared with women in other professions, and they resign at varying rates depending on the…

Representative Bureaucracy and Government Contracting
The theory of representative bureaucracy holds that demographic characteristics of public managers influence policy design and implementation, but only a few studies have been conducted on the impact of representative bureaucracy on contract decisions. This paper contributes to that work by examining the relationship between minority representation in federal agencies and the awarding of agency contracts to minority-owned businesses. Using federa…
Does Civil Service Reform Affect Behavior? Linking Alternative Personnel Systems, Perceptions of Procedural Justice, and Complaints
Current literature on civil service reform lacks any studies that examine how these reforms impact employee behavior. The research presented here links the presence of alternative personnel systems and perceptions of procedural justice in 2005 to the rates at which complaints were filed in 2006 in the federal government, after controlling for the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Among the findings, agencies with alternative personnel …
Representative Bureaucracy
The theory of representative bureaucracy suggests that a public workforce representative of the people in terms of race, ethnicity, and sex will help ensure that the interests of all groups are considered in bureaucratic decision-making processes. The theory posits that the active representation of group interests occurs because individual bureaucrats reflect the views of those who share their demographic backgrounds. Research in the public admin…
Personnel Reform in the States
Trends in states’ civil service reforms since the Winter Commission’s report was published in 1993 are described and evaluated in the context of its recommendations. The authors argue that the commission’s reform agenda relies on a public service bargain that requires public employees, elected officials, and other stakeholders to respect, trust, and support each other’s efforts to serve the public interest. Its recommendations for modernizing sta…
Representative Bureaucracy
The theory of representative bureaucracy suggests that a demographically diverse public sector workforce (passive representation) will lead to policy outcomes that reflect the interests of all groups represented, including historically disadvantaged communities (active representation). Implicit in the passive-active link is the expectation that minority public administrators, in particular, will have similar attitudes to minority citizens on issu…
Choosing Public Sector Employment
In the past, researchers in the field of public administration have been hindered in their ability to study trends in the representation of women and minorities in state government due to limitations in data availability. This article develops an alternative approach to examining the representation of women and minorities in state government bureaucracies over the period from 1987 to 2002. Based on estimates constructed using the Bureau of Labor …

Leadership with an Enduring Impact
On January 13, 1978, after nearly 30 years of public service, Burtell Jefferson became the first African American to serve as chief of the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C. This profile describes his personal and professional journey and describes—from the perspective of a cadre of active and retired police chiefs and chief executive officers—the impact of Jefferson's career on the Metropolitan Police Department and policing in A…
Who Contributes to Public Administration Review? Examining the Characteristics of Authors Who Submit Manuscripts to the Journal
This study examines data collected through a survey of authors who submitted manuscripts to Public Administration Review. Information on the authors' level of education, career path, longevity in the profession, race/ethnicity, gender, and ASPA affiliation is reviewed. Results show that PAR submission rates from both practitioners and individuals of color are far lower than submissions from academicians and white authors. In fact, minority submis…
Dramatic Reform in the Public Service
As is widely known, the state of Georgia transformed its civil service system in the mid-1990s. A new performance management and pay-for-performance plan was put into place, and authority for personnel policy was significantly decentralized, but perhaps most notably, all employees hired or promoted after July 1, 1996, were placed in the state's unclassified service where they were required to serve on an at-will basis. In stark contrast, state wo…
Responding to a Wake-up Call
This article reports the results of a survey administered to 160 federal agencies and subagencies to gauge the extent to which they have developed diversity management programs. Many agencies report that they have implemented numerous programmatic elements recommended by the growing body of literature on diversity in the workplace. In contrast, other agencies indicate that they have very limited programs or that they have simply repackaged their …
The Reinvention of Public Personnel Administration
Reform is a common theme in American public administration. During the twentieth century at least 12 major administrative reforms have taken place at the federal level and countless others in state and local governments. Frequently, these reforms have addressed the operation of public personnel management systems. Recent efforts associated with the reinventing government movement, for example, have proposed numerous alterations to civil service r…
Reliability, Validity, and the MV Index
The need to find effective ways to counter racial, ethnic, gender, and other forms of discrimination in the public work force has been an important item on our policy agenda for a considerable number of years. This concern has led to the pursuit of programs emphasizing equal employment opportunity and affirmative action and has given rise to a significant amount of empirical research. Studies have addressed questions related to the growth of mino…
Bureaucracy as a Representative Institution
Theory: Scholars have long debated the question of what assurance the populace can have that government bureaucracies, operating on the basis of specialized knowledge and exercising considerable discretionary authority, will act in a manner consistent with the public interest. One approach to this problem involves the representation of certain groups, particularly racial and ethnic minorities, in the public work force. This research systematicall…
Women and Minorities in Federal Government Agencies
The employment of women and racial/ethnic minorities in the public work force has grown considerably in the past 20 years, and projections have suggested that such growth can be expected to continue into the immediate future (Johnston et al., 1988). Already, die federal civil service has, in the aggregate, become remarkably reflective of the nation's population. Women comprise more than 43 percent of the total federal civilian work force while Af…
Affirmative Action in Government Employment
Affirmative action in government is important not only for the equitable distribution of employment opportunities but as a symbol of the nation's commitment to end discrimination against minorities and women and to make government more responsive to their interests. This article examines the development of affirmative action policy in employment at the federal, state, and local levels. Recent federal political appointments are noted. Research tha…
The Supreme Court, Affirmative Action, and Public Management
The author reviews Supreme Court decisions on affirm ative action to identify the boundaries of permissible voluntary race- or gender-conscious affirmative action by government employers. He concludes that standards of judicial review established prior to 1989 for affirmative action in the public sector have not been eroded by three controversial decisions taken by the Court that year in City of Richmond v. J.A. Croson Company, Wards Cove Packing…
The President as Manager
Integration in the Public Workplace
Equal employment opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action efforts in the public sector, designed to make government workforces more reflective of people being served, are defended not only on grounds of basic social justice but also for the impact a more representative bureaucracy may have on bureaucratic or administrative responsibility (Krislov, 1967; Thompson, 1976; Saltzstein, 1979; and Krislov and Rosenbloom, 1981). In the federal civil serv…
The 1978 Civil Service Reform and Federal Equal Employment Opportunity
The issue of federal equal employment opportunity (EEO) is explored by examining employment trends for blacks and women in middle- and higher-level positions and looking for possible impacts of elements of the 1978 civil service reform designed to advance EEO. Using an interrupted time-series multiple-regression model, the rate of increase in black employment was found to decline slightly following the reform. For women, however, long-term employ…
