Gender differences and managerial competencies

Article Abstract:

Slight differences were noted with regards to the way female and male first-line supervisors in the federal government assess their performance and value the various supervisory works they are responsible for. Utilization of the US Merit Systems Protection Board's 1991 Federal First-Line Supervisors survey revealed that both male and female supervisors rated their performance of supervisory tasks as above average. Compared to men, women gave higher performance ratings with regards to instrumental goal interpretation and program implementation.

The new public management and its consequences in the public personnel system

Article Abstract:

The implementation of reforms related to new public management in Portugal proved to be disadvantageous to the country's public personnel system. The reforms, which aim to debureaucratize and decentralize Portugal's public administration, have resulted to a rise in corruption and inefficiency in the civil service. The quality of services provided by the public sector remained stagnant while those that have been privatized by the government deteriorated.
