Leadership in Voluntary Associations: The Case of the “International Association of Women”
Three models of leadership in voluntary associations have been proposed in the literature: democratic leadership, oligarchy, and leadership by default. Through an intensive case study of leadership structure, differences in the attitudes of members and leaders at three hierarchical levels, and differences between the attitudes and behaviors of aspirants and nonaspirants to leadership in a women’s service association, this article examines the deg…
Employment status and the attitudes and behavior of higher status women volunteers, 1975 and 1992: A case study
Community Orientations of Higher-Status Women Volunteers
This study examines haw class, gender, socialization, and member selectivity relate to the importance members of a higher-status women's organization attach to community problems. Most members come from the traditional, business-oriented middle class and politically moderate upper class. They see child welfare and health, education, substance abuse, adolescent issues, economic well-being and environment as the most important issues, but adopt est…
Sex Differences in Support for Organizational Advancement
While women workers have often been thought to receive less support than men to advance in organizations, these sex differences have not been systematically explored. Using a sample of 486 male and 356 female employees of a large federal bureaucracy, this article examines differences between men and women in their reports of social support from four potential sources: male peers, female peers, male supervisors, and female supervisors. Our finding…
The Mexican American Experience: An Interdisciplinary Anthology
Gender and Opportunity in the Federal Bureaucracy
This article tests Rosabeth Kanter's hypotheses that (a) promotion opportunity in organizations is related to several adaptive attitudes and bahaviors, (b) women have less promotion opportunity, (c) women are more likely to display the adaptations, and (d) when opportunity is controlled these gender differences are eliminated, using data from 897 employees in six offices of a government agency. Low opportunity was moderately related to bitter dis…
Measuring Organizational Control: The Reliability and Validity of the Control Graph Approach
The reliability and validity of the control graph approach to measuring organizational control structure and individual perceptions of control are examined through a review of previous studies and new data from managers, supervisors, and employees in six offices of a government agency. The results suggest that the approach has significant problems with reliability when used to measure organizational structure and problems with validity as a measu…

Female Labor Force Participation and the Organizational Experiences of Male Workers
Using a sample of 387 male federal employees who responded to a questionnaire, this study tests two theoretical perspectives concerning the effect of women's labor force participation on men's work experiences. One theory, with roots in the external-conflict/intenial-cohesion and minority-group size/discrimination literature, predicts that the greater the representation of women in work groups, the greater the social solidarity among male workers…

Social Structure and Intergroup Interaction: Men and Women of the Federal Bureaucracy
Questionnaire data from female employees in a large federal bureaucracy are analyzed to test two theories on the effects offemales' proportional representation in work groups on intraand intergender relations. In general, the data support hypotheses drawn from Blau (1977a) and Blalock (1967) which suggest that the proportional size of a minority subgroup is negatively related to its frequency of contact with, and amount of social support received…
Sex and Power in the Federal Bureaucracy: A Comparative Analysis of Male and Female Supervisors
Questionnaire data from 152 female employees and 46 supervisors in a large federal bureaucracy are used to test Kanter's hypothesis that sex differences in supervisory behavior result from sex differences in organizational power. Female subordinates of female supervisors, compared to female subordinates of male supervisors, report less job satisfaction and lower group morale and are more likely to describe their supervisor's behavior as controlli…
Community Power and Policy Outputs: The Routines of Local Politics
The concern with the effects of different types of community power structures has produced two prominent research and conceptualization strategies—the separability and community mobilization models. When both models are evaluated using the same methods and sample, their predictive validity is disappointing. Examination of the relationship of various policy outputs to different types of leadership arrangements suggests a more basic conceptualizati…

Reasons for Journal Rejection: An Analysis of 600 Manuscripts
The rejection of manuscripts by journals is clearly the norm in the social sciences. For example, in 1976 about 700 manuscripts were submitted to theAmerican Economic Reviewand more than 500 were rejected; theAmerican Sociological Reviewrejected more than 500 of about 600 submitted; and of the 525 manuscripts reviewed by theAmerican Political Science Review, almost 500 were rejected. To be sure, these are the top journals in their disciplines; bu…

Community Structure and Leadership Arrangements: A Multidimensional Analysis
The approach to explaining variations in power structure and the current use of undimensional models of leadership structure are the major concerns here. This investigation attempts to overcome some of the problems associated with previous efforts by relating community structural variables to leadership arrangements, paying special attention to the results obtained when three alternative measures of reputational leadership-visibility, legitimacy …

Community Leadership: A Case Study and Conceptual Refinement
Most studies of power-leadership decision-making go no further than the determination of the leadership base or power elite by the positional or reputational method (or a combination). This traditional approach has been criticized for implying an a priori assumption that a monolithic power structure exists in the community, for including only a segment of the real "elite" or for including individuals who, in fact, are not members of the "elite," …

Toward Comparative Community Research: A Factor Analyiis of United States Counties
THE NEED for comparative research has been a persistent theme in the literature of sociology for some time.' Although comparative studies are being undertaken with greater frequency, a major problem associated with their design and execution stems from the ambiguity of the concept community and an inadequate conceptualization of the dimensions along which these social units vary.2 One recent approach to this problem has been through the applicati…
Legitimacy and Visibility: Leadership Structures Related to Four Community Systems
Scholastic Dishonesty Among Undergraduates in Differing Systems of Social Control
Extensive scholastic dishonesty was found in two large Southern universities, although not to the same extent in each. This contrast raised the question of whether the observed differences in frequency were due to different personal background characteristics of the 8tudents at the two universities, or to the different forms of social control in use at the two institutions. This investigation indicates that both types of characteristics may be re…

Mass, Class, and the Industrial Community: A Comparative Analysis of Managers, Businessmen, and Workers
A rough test of the homogeneity-heterogeneity inconsistency between "mass society" and stratification theories was conducted by comparing 332 hourly paid workers, independent businessmen, and corporate managers on a number of variables selected because they had been used in discussions of both mass society and stratification. The research was conducted in a community having recently undergone urbanization, bureaucratization, and industrialization…

A content analysis of all issues of four of the leading sociological journals for the most recent five-year period indicates a lack of agreement and research continuity with respect to the use of measurement procedures. Of the 986 different scales and indices found, fewer than one-fourth were used more than once, and only 1.6 percent were used or cited more than five times

Bureaucracy and Alienation: A Dimensional Approach
The generalization that there exists a direct relationship between bureaucratization and alienation is modified by examining the relationships between five bureaucratic characteristics and six forms of alienation among samples of hourly paid workers, salaried managers, and independent businessmen. The data do not support the broad generalization that such a direct relationship exists, but some patterns of relationships are suggestive for future r…

Some Issues in the Study of Bureaucracy and Alienation
Anderson's “Reactions to a Study of Bureaucracy and Alienation” appear to be based on (1) only one of several acceptable conceptualizations of alienation, (2) a macro- as opposed to micro-sociological orientation, and (3) the notion that statistical techniques should influence conceptualization. These issues and others are discussed and, for the most part, are found to be inappropriate for our research problem and data. The alternative design sug…
