Women in Public Administration: An Integrative Review

Abstract

This article presents an integrative review of public administration research on the role of women in public agencies and public administration scholarship. The article reviews articles from Public Administration Review, Review of Public Personnel Administration, and Public Personnel Management that appeared on the topic between 1980 and 2018. It explores dominant research paradigms and absences such as attention to intersectionality and day-to-day work life and suggests avenues for future research.
