Why Men and Women Want to Leave? Turnover Intent Among Public Procurement Officers
This study examines differences in turnover intent between men and women with the aim of building a better understanding of factors that contribute to disparities between the sexes and creating more useful recruitment and retention strategies. The study proposes a theoretical framework where personal, human capital, organizational, and structural/community factors contribute to the desire to change jobs. The focus here is on procurement officers …
A Systematic Review of the Gender Pay Gap and Factors That Predict It
This study conducts a systematic review of 98 peer-reviewed journal articles that empirically investigate the presence of the gender pay gap along with factors that espouse it in organizations. The purposes of this study are threefold. First, it aims to explore trends in recurring themes that surface as factors that engender the gender pay gap in the workforce. Second, based on identified themes, the review summarizes and compares the gender pay …
Public Administration, Diversity, and the Ethic of Getting Things Done
New public management, in its focus on outcomes and performance, provokes a question on whether there is a value-tradeoff between ethics and performance. The new–old creed of administrators have arguably been focused on a need to produce results—to get things done—to the extent that they could sometimes overlook unethical implications of their actions. This happens at a time when ethicists are looking at ways to emphasize non-teleological ethical…
Counternarratives as Critical Perspectives in Public Administration Curricula
This article argues for the inclusion of critical perspectives in public administration curricula to explore the historical and contemporary processes that contribute to disparity and injustice. The counternarratives examined in the article include social construction, inclusive feminism, critical urban planning, and democratic cultural pluralism. Critical perspectives or counternarratives are presented as challenges to hegemonic scripts that wil…
Reframing Workplace Spirituality to Reduce Career and Social Costs to Women
Women tend to sacrifice career, family life, or both in ways men do not. Studies have shown repeatedly that these career and social costs are higher for women than men. This article argues that career and social costs only exist because workplace policies and practices are based on values that are grounded in beliefs derived from scientific, religious, and spiritual sources. The authors employ three ontological ideal-types to examine workplace po…
Constructive Conflict, Participation, and Shared Governance
This article discusses citizen participation in the governance process in light of two theoretical approaches: hooks’s talking back as a way to empower citizens and Mary Parker Follett’s constructive conflict as a form of participation founded in political dialogue. The authors argue that constructive conflict not only allows citizens and government to jointly define and redefine the governance process in truly collaborative ways but also permits…
Covert Pay Discrimination: How Authority Predicts Pay Differences between Women and Men
Research repeatedly highlights the gap between male and female earnings across the public and private sectors. The authors address an overlooked manifestation of pay discrimination against women in the labor market. Using a survey of 384 public sector chief procurement officers, they analyze the indirect effects of gender on women’s pay through the intervening variable of authority. Gender affects the amount of authority that is delegated to an e…
Aloofness or Dirty Hands: Administrative Culpability in the Making of the Second Ghetto
This article takes a critical look at the actions of American public administrators affecting African Americans in inner cities in the mid-twentieth century. It compares these actions to those of British imperialist functionaries in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. We argue that domestic American administrators and imperialist functionaries shared an ethos of serving expansion and capital, sometimes as a means to achieve what th…
Abu Ghraib and the Normalization of Torture and Hate
The soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison showed little mercy when torturing Iraqi prisoners. Testimonies and interviews by soldiers and victims reveal that what the world saw at Abu Ghraib was preceded by actions that normalized torture in American culture and constructed a demonized Arab "other." Why did the military personnel and contractors do what they did? Explanations based on Milgram's shock experiments, the Stanford prison experiment, and the cu…

Unequal Pay: The Role of Gender
Pay disparities between men and women persist in the U.S. workforce despite comparable pay legislation, advocacy, and social change. This article discusses theories of gender pay disparities, such as the glass ceiling, position segregation, agency segregation, and human capital. Using an online national survey, 1,600 responses were collected for four groups of public procurement professionals. The gender wage gap ranged from $5,035 to $9,577. Mul…

Deliberative Discourse between Citizens and Administrators: If Citizens Talk, will Administrators Listen
This article examines the potential for discourse between citizens and front-line administrators—those who directly deal with citizens. Critics of technical rational organizations question the ability and willingness of administrators to act on citizen feedback. Therefore, the article explores theoretical arguments about organizational rationality and the effect of the “bureaucratic experience,” resulting from administrator-bureaucracy interactio…
Reciting Colonial Scripts: Colonialism, Globalization and Democracy in the Decolonized Middle East
Colonial experiences, imperial ventures, globalization, and defensive modernization are the challenges facing Middle East nations as they move from a moment of national independence and anti-colonial resistance to a moment of liberation and democratic governance. Colonial and post-colonial imperial practices have substantially undermined the notion of civil society and created geographic, ethnic and economics scripts that could not be recited by …
