Where Did You Serve? Veteran Identity, Representative Bureaucracy, and Vocational Rehabilitation
The research on representative bureaucracy investigates whether higher levels of representation within public agencies affect policy outcomes. We expand this line of inquiry by examining the effect of symbolic representation on the clients' perceptions of the vocational rehabilitation program administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs. We test the link between passive representation and symbolic representation for Veteran identity. This i…
Going Beyond Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic
Research in the field of representative bureaucracy provides evidence that the presence of minority and female bureaucrats can improve outcomes for minority and female clients of an agency. However, the previous work has almost exclusively connected the benefits of representation to outcomes directly linked to the primary purpose of the organization. We contend that there may be additional benefits linked to bureaucratic representation that are b…
At the Discretion of Rogue Agents
Automation curtails the discretion of street-level bureaucrats in several ways: bureaucrats have little control over the input of data by claimants, management has increased opportunities for monitoring, and given the possibility that clients will deal with multiple bureaucrats, coworkers can now identify “rogue” agents. Some clients of a bureaucracy may benefit from the introduction of automation when the agency is biased against them. We test t…
Exploring the Causal Story
Using the theoretical framework posited by Keiser et al. (2002), researchers have found active representation for gender in several public organizations (Keiser et al. 2002; Nicholson-Crotty and Meier 2002; Wilkins and Keiser 2006). This article uses individual-level data to explore the causal story behind previous aggregate level findings that suggest that female child support enforcement supervisors provide active representation to female clien…
Linking Passive and Active Representation by Gender
Does it matter whether political institutions are representative in terms of the characteristics of the people who work there? We explore this question by empirically examining whether passive representation leads to active representation in child support–enforcement bureaucracies for women. Our findings support the hypothesis that passive representation leads to active representation for women in gendered policy areas like child support. Further…
Association avec les établissements scolaires. Bilan des innovations dans la formation des enseignants en Grande-Bretagne
Les futurs enseignants, en Grande-Bretagne, à l'issue de la licence, suivent pendant un an une préparation au «post graduate Certificate of Education » (PGCE). Vient ensuite une année d'enseignement à l'essai sanctionnée par le « Local Education Authority » ; après, ils entrent pleinement en fonction. Quatre centres de formation au PGCE ont proposé quatre formules nouvelles de formation « centrées sur l'école », rompant avec la formation traditio…
