It addresses pertinent issues like work-family balance, workforce diversity, equal employment opportunity, sexual harassment at the workplace, among others. Through this research, the author addresses questions such as, do women in public administration think differently from their male colleagues? And do they exercise different leadership styles, prioritise different issues, approach problems differently, make decisions in markedly different ways and play an actively representative role? This book helps to identify major obstacles that hinder the participation of women in decision-making and uncovers the bottlenecks that impede women's advancement in the civil services specifically to policymaking positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn important and timely study, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of gender studies, public administration, management and leadership studies. It will also be of interest to organisations working on issues of equal opportunity and affirmative action in public institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trijita Gonsalves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032024178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032024172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Trijita Gonsalves","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136481767679,"sku":"9781032024172","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93d19b88-4d06-4508-b7bc-593ea9352817.jpg?v=1770162950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-the-civil-services-trijita-gonsalves-9781032024172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
