Organizational Resistance to Serving the Disadvantaged: The Case of A State Employment Service
Maintaining the commitment of public agencies to serve the disadvantaged persists as one of the most vexing problems in public affairs. This study places in an historical perspective the commitment of the Wisconsin State Employment Service (WSES) to serve the disadvantaged during the late 1960s and the retreat from this emphasis in the 1970s. The WSES displays a tradition of tension between operating-level employees who aspire to serve a job-read…

Moreover, responses by the resistant managers to the measures of need explicitly sanctioned by th…

Size of case load has some effect on social services, but salaries, turnover, and level of employee education do not. …
