This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are still underrepresented as public-sector organizational leaders, despite comprising half of the United States public-sector workforce. To explore the factors driving gender imbalance, this Element employs a problem-driven approach to examine gender imbalance in local government management. We use multiple methods, inductive and deductive research, and different theoretical frames for exploring why so few women are city or county managers. Our interviews, resume analysis and secondary data analysis suggesting that women in local government management face a complex puzzle of gendered experiences, career paths and appointment circumstances that lend insights into gender imbalanced leadership in this domain.

Book Synopsis Examining the Gender Leadership Gap by : Ingrid Williams
Download or read book Examining the Gender Leadership Gap written by Ingrid Williams and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although women represent over 40 percent of the workforce in the United States, only 5 percent of leadership positions are held by women. This demonstrates the leadership gender gap that exists in the workplace. Existing literature suggests that the most detrimental challenge faced by women in the workforce is stereotyping. In 2004 the Public Works Women's Leadership Council (PWWLC) was implemented to mitigate claims brought against the department by some of its female employees. Utilizing LA County's Department of Public Works Women's Leadership Council as a case study, this paper will focus on addressing the main challenges faced by women in the public workforce and identifying strategic practices that enable leadership development. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between public sector leadership demographics, leadership practices, and organizational outcomes.
Book Synopsis Governing in a Global World by : Maria J. D'Agostino
Download or read book Governing in a Global World written by Maria J. D'Agostino and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governing in a Global World captures the panorama of women governing around the world. Even though the modern era marks history’s greatest advancements for women, worldwide they hold fewer than 30 percent of decision-making positions and are often missing from negotiating tables where policies are made and conflicts resolved. The opening chapters present trends and context for studying women in public service by focusing on path-setters across the globe, the status of women in the world’s executive and legislative bodies, and their participation in public service across several nations. Later chapters examine power, leadership and representation of women in public service, with several chapters looking at women governing from a regional perspective in the Middle East, Sub Sahara Africa, Latin America, and China. The final chapter presents empirical evidence that shows how policies to increase women’s representation in the public arena reduce gender inequality more than any other policy intervention. Taken together, the chapters illustrate the worldwide importance of, and challenges to, promoting gender equality and women governing.
Book Synopsis Women Lag in Public Sector Leadership by : Margaret Fitzwilliam Figueroa
Download or read book Women Lag in Public Sector Leadership written by Margaret Fitzwilliam Figueroa and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, gender has played a significant role in public administration. While men have dominated leadership roles for centuries in the public sector, there is a great need for women to be part of the decision-making table across local, county, state and federal government public sector organizations. Women have the right to a representative voice. An equal representation of women in public sector leadership roles can assist in enhancing crucial public policy issues for females for an improved lifestyle. The obstacles to advancing female representation in Senior Executive Service (SES) will be identified. The reasons behind the proportional inequity will be examined. Societal barriers and stereotypes will be considered, as well as the gender pay gap. Female diversity in leadership and the roles of women of color will be discussed. This paper will explore representation for culturally and racially diverse women in broad social policy decisions and the difference that women make in government and public-led agencies. The social construct of successful leadership will be examined. And finally, gender characteristics for public service leadership will be explored, and a determination will be made as to the value that women bring to the public sector.

But in the downsizing in the early part of this decade women are less likely than men to be retrenched in large numbers.
Book Synopsis Gender Equality in Public Services by : Hazel Conley
Download or read book Gender Equality in Public Services written by Hazel Conley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The provision of state funded and democratically accountable care services represents one of the most potentially transformative advances in gendered social relations and equality for women by ‘defamilizing’ care and providing paid work. But the cost of providing these services, which women have access to them and how they should be provided are always at the forefront of debate, especially during economic crises. Socially funded and publicly accountable care services are therefore a key site of feminist activity, but also the frontline for spending cuts and 'reform' during times of austerity. Gender Equality in Public Services analyses how gender equality work in British public services is changing in response to factors including: equality legislation; the erosion of local democracy, privatisation of public services and new forms of feminist activism and leadership. It also assesses the challenges and opportunities for promoting women’s equality in producing and using public services. Impacting upon developed and developing economies, the arguments in this challenging book explore the potential of equality and feminist activism and leadership for radical and transformational change. It will appeal to advanced students, researchers and practitioners interested in social policy, feminist organization theory, equal opportunities and gender mainstreaming practice.
Book Synopsis Gender Equality and Inclusive Growth by : Raquel Fernández
Download or read book Gender Equality and Inclusive Growth written by Raquel Fernández and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper considers various dimensions and sources of gender inequality and presents policies and best practices to address these. With women accounting for fifty percent of the global population, inclusive growth can only be achieved if it promotes gender equality. Despite recent progress, gender gaps remain across all stages of life, including before birth, and negatively impact health, education, and economic outcomes for women. The roadmap to gender equality has to rely on legal framework reforms, policies to promote equal access, and efforts to tackle entrenched social norms. These need to be set in the context of arising new trends such as digitalization, climate change, as well as shocks such as pandemics.
Book Synopsis Transforming Managers by : Stephen M. Whitehead
Download or read book Transforming Managers written by Stephen M. Whitehead and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1990s, considerable changes in the political and social world have impacted on the character of both public and private organizations. At a time of increased uncertainty and insecurity in these organizations, new ways of managing and being managed have emerged. Recognising that organizational life is part reflective and determined by dominant social discourses, factors of gender will inevitably be central to the dynamics of organizational change. This book addresses theoretical ideas and mythologies in the examination of gendered organizations. The need to examine men in relation to family, law and society in general is growing, and this book extends this interrogation to work and organizational life. It will be of interest to students in management studies, public sector management and those involved in public policy making as well as students and academics within gender studies and sociology.

This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inquiry implies that although women have evolved in their depiction in organizational and leadership management positions and roles, especially in three different North Carolina State governmental agencies, they are still subject to gender inequality (Cohen & Huffman, 2003; Gazso, 2004;). For African American women, they are further imperiled to race and class inequalities. The purported research is envisioned to investigate and distinguish the distinctive individual and professional interpretations and occurrences of 18 African American women that are in managerial or leadership roles in North Carolina state government working in a White, male-dominated culture. The study will broaden and engage conversations about gender inequality and ascertain whether these African American, working in such an environment and culture, agree in their perceptions of inequalities and how it correlates to the low representation in managerial and leadership positions within their respective organizations.
Book Synopsis The Gender Gap in the Third Sector by : Bethany A. Mueller
Download or read book The Gender Gap in the Third Sector written by Bethany A. Mueller and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the gender gap in relation to leadership in the nonprofit sector. Despite the gross overrepresentation of women through the sector, there continues to be an underrepresentation of women in executive leadership across the sector; leadership positions include staff at all levels and board positions. This review on the current literature attempts to understand challenges to women in the nonprofit sector while identifying effective strategies to promote women leaders. Drawing on research in corporate, healthcare, and public administration sectors, the paper explores strategies for diversifying leadership that strengthens and promotes women and underrepresented groups in the workplace and the boardroom.--
Book Synopsis Leadership & Gender Composition in Managerial Positions by : Thiago de Lucena Coelho
Download or read book Leadership & Gender Composition in Managerial Positions written by Thiago de Lucena Coelho and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite major progress in fighting gender inequality over the past sixty years, women remain heavily underrepresented at the top of the job status distribution in both the public and private sectors. Limited evidence exists about how female leaders may curb the underrepresentation problem at top positions. Only a few studies have evaluated this relation, presenting mixed results on general effects and scarce evidence on mechanisms. Using a Regression Discontinuity Design on close elections in Brazil, I analyze how the election of a female mayor affects the gender composition gap of top municipal executives. I show that electing a female mayor on a close race increases the share of appointed female managers by 17%. I also present evidence that public sector-specific and supply-side channels are unlikely to explain my findings; instead, an increase in gender-inclusive policies within female-led governments suggests that demand-side preferences are the driver of the results.
