River Basin Development Planning and Management: A Critical Review

Leadership philosophy is explored through gender and other demographic characteristics in the Australian Public Service (APS), at the federal government level. Leadership philosophy is conceptualised as the leader’s attitudes, values and behaviour. Gender differences in characteristics of leaders (executives and middle managers) are examined in terms of strategic behaviour, management style, work‐related values, adoption of information technology, perceived organisational morale, family/work conflict and personal, work and family satisfaction. The gender differences are investigated using questionnaire responses from a sample of 750 respondents, of which 569 were male and 145 female. The APS findings are compared with a Cranfield study conducted in the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), where gender differences are explored in terms of management and strategic orientation. A sample of 515 chief executives, medical, clinical, HR and financial directors, chairpersons and other non‐executive directors, consists of 406 male and 108 female respondents. The APS study reveals that there are no significant gender differences in the majority of measured characteristics. Similarly in the NHS Trusts study, no significant gender differences are found in terms of management and strategic orientation. The conclusion reached is that other demographic characteristics are influential in forming leadership philosophies, namely job and organisational tenure and experience of senior management responsibilities, thus highlighting the importance of organisational demographics and their impact on leadership attitudes and practice.

Participatory Research and Utilization in the Technology A ssessment Process: Issues and Recommendations

Since the 1973 Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ (OPEC) oil embargo, a consistent theme in national energy policy has been to achieve independence from insecure foreign sources of energy. In the shortto mid-term, the principal means for achieving this objective is to increase the production and utilization of domestic energy resources, particularly fossil fuels and uranium. Given the large quantities of these energy resources located in the western United States, the West is a prime regional candidate for contributing to this increased production. But matters of how much production, where, and what energy development technologies are used are being and will be very largely determined by national policies. Awareness of this situation has already affected federal-state relations, and some westerners have begun to argue for a larger role for the states in national policy making in energy, environmental, and related areas.
