245 _aRepresentative bureaucracy and organizational attractiveness: An experimental study of symbolic representation of the us and UK police
260 _aPublic Administration Review
300 _a84(2), Mar-Apr, 2024: p.293-307
520 _aDrawing upon representative bureaucracy theory, this study investigates the relationship between passive and symbolic representation by examining the extent to which a more passively representative public organization would be attractive as an employer. The study involved a randomized survey experiment of members of the public in the US and UK. Overall, and contrary to the theory of representative bureaucracy, results show that women found a male-dominated police department more attractive. The explanation for the results of the study may lie in bureaucratic reputation as a boundary condition of symbolic representation.- Reproduced https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/puar.13675
