Integration or exclusion? : perceptions of gender equality in policingBeck, Rosalind D. January 2002 (has links)
Gender equality has been a marginalised topic within policing studies, with a very small pool of academics conducting work on this subject in recent years. This thesis aims to make a contribution to this at both a theoretical and empirical level. This is done by refining and extending theoretical models proposed by previous researchers, in the light of new data on policewomen's and their male colleagues' perceptions of gender equality in policing. Key theories, themes and findings in the thesis relate to organisational change, power and social control, masculinities and exclusion. Some of these concepts have not previously been systematically applied to policewomen's experiences. Other themes which have been applied to women in organisations more generally and on occasion, specifically to women in policing, include: stereotyping, visibility, isolation, sisterhood, double standards, the work-home balance and sexual harassment. These concepts are analysed, reflected in the findings, and extended in the concluding chapters. Previously, where empirical studies have been conducted, these have rarely, if ever, been the subject of follow-up studies using either the same research instruments or the same police service. Such follow-ups are an important method of measuring change over time. This study is thus partly a follow-up study of Jones' (1986) survey of one police service in England and Wales and also, that of Brown's (1991) and Anderson, Brown and Campbell's (1993) studies. Methods employed include a questionnaire survey, interviews and a focus group, using the same police force as Jones (1986), and many of the same questions. Anderson et al's (1993) questionnaire is also drawn upon, with amendments and additions. The study thus synthesises the methods used in two pivotal empirical studies (Jones, 1986; Anderson et al, 1993) on gender equality in the UK in the last two decades, as well as using grounded theory methods to explore emerging priorities in this area. As well as following up earlier work, therefore, the study sets a new baseline for further work. Whilst I found evidence of some improvement in women officers' position since the studies by Jones (1986) and Anderson et al (1993), women are still a marginalised group within policing and experience a range of discriminatory behaviour, some of which may have become more covert in recent years, but some of which is still quite openly expressed and tolerated.

Officer career paths and the effects of commissioning sources on the survival patterns of Army officersDoganca, Erkan. 09 1900 (has links)
This thesis analyzes the career paths of U.S. Army officers and evaluates the effect of commissioning source on their survival patterns. Data used in this study are taken from the Active Duty Military Master File provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). The data set contains information on 103,501 officers who were commissioned between 1981 and 2001. The results indicate that commissioning source, occupation (except for the special occupations and military police) and occupation category have significant effects on the survival curves of U.S. Army officers. Officers graduating from the ROTC Scholarship program and commissioned through Direct Commissioning have 10% and 19% greater hazards of leaving than USMA graduates; officers graduating from ROTC Non-Scholarship and OCS have 6% and 8% lower hazards of leaving than USMA graduates. Age, race and ethnicity, gender, marital status, number of non-spousal dependents, and graduate education all have significant effects on the survival function. Higher age at commissioning, being African-American, being married, each additional non-spousal dependent, and having a graduate degree have positive effects on survival patterns while being female has a negative effect on the survival patterns. Being prior enlisted is not statistically significant in all of the models, but when it is significant, it has a positive effect on the survival function.

Do institutions matter for CEO dismissal?. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection / Digital dissertation consortium / ProQuest dissertations and thesesJanuary 2011 (has links)
CEO dismissal is one of the most theoretically interesting topics in strategic management. Previous studies have noted that the extent of control over CEOs exercised by outside directors and senior executives plays an important role in affecting the relationships between relevant organizational characteristics (i.e., organizational performance, CEO-board personal ties, and CEO-senior executive dissimilarity) and the likelihood of CEO dismissal. Drawing on an institutional perspective, this study proposes that national institutions concerning investor protection, individualism, and power distance shape how outside directors and senior executives exercise control over CEOs. As such these national institutions would moderate the relationships between the relevant organizational characteristics and the likelihood of CEO dismissal. To test the hypotheses derived from the above assertions, the present study deploys the data from a sample of 1733 public companies across 20 countries from year 2005 to 2009. The empirical evidence confirms the moderating role of national institutions in CEO dismissal. / Li, Weiwen. / Adviser: Yuan Lu. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-04, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2011. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 143-155). / Electronic reproduction.

Investigation of police officer selection proceduresProvines, Jessica Lynn 12 1900 (has links)
In the current dissertation, the relationship between police officer selection procedures and officer performance during the first year of employment was investigated within a metropolitan law enforcement agency. Ninety-two officers were followed during their first year of employment including the hiring process, academy and field training, and yearly evaluations. Data on education, aptitude, physical agility, personality, academy performance, supervisor ratings, and terminations were collected. The results reveal that the psychologists' recommendations predict whether or not an individual will leave the department before the completion of their first year as an officer. In addition, the aptitude test administered by the municipal human resources department accounted for the most variance in academy scores. Weak predictions were demonstrated for field training ratings and yearly evaluations. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Wichita State University, College of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Psychology. / "December 2006." / Includes bibliographic references (leaves 72-77)
