“…Furthermore, the small or non-existent effect of female representation may be due to socialization effects characteristic of male-dominant cultures (Quintelier 2013). In general, Japanese women tend not to hold prominent leadership positions with strong influence in organizational decision-making, and they may develop attitudes and behaviours similar to those of male leaders.…”

This study examines how female representation in local elected (mayor and legislature) and administrative (mid-level manager) positions influences municipal financial decision-making in 764 Japanese city-level governments. Findings show that female representation in local councils is positively correlated with risk-averse behaviour in financial decisions, as female representation on the legislature is negatively associated with issuing municipal bonds and with local investment in public corporations. Female representation in executive (mayor and vice-mayor) and mid-level administrative managerial positions has no apparent effects on local financial decisions. This study tests existing explanations of relationships between female managerial representation and fiscal behaviour in an Asian developed setting characterized by considerable underrepresentation of women in politics.

“…Another shortcoming is a lack of longitudinal data. Without such data we are not able to assess socialization effects on gender-based attitudes and behavior (Quintelier, 2013). In male-dominant cultures, female senior managers may face pressure to behave like their male counterparts, which may suppress the expected effects of gender on attitudes.…”

Despite the large literature on gender differences in politics, there have been relatively few empirical studies testing the effects of gender in public administration. This paper examines how male and female public managers show attitudinal differences toward innovation in the public sector. We hypothesize that male and female managers differ in three aspects. Firstly, female managers are more result-oriented than rule-following, and more oriented toward societal interests. Secondly, female public managers are more open to new ideas and creativity, and more willing to challenge the status quo. Yet, thirdly, female leaders are less eager to take risks when would-be innovations may put their organizations in peril. Thus, we argue that female managers are more prudent and entrepreneurial than their male counterparts. We test these hypotheses using a data set of 5,909 senior public managers from 20 European countries. The results of multilevel model analysis find statistically significant gender differences in attitudes toward innovation. Despite the small size of gender impacts, our findings challenge prevailing stereotypes on women's entrepreneurial attitudes.

“…Empirical support for the argument that democratic participation precedes prodemocracy orientations abounds (e.g. Finkel 1987;Finkel 1985;Ikeda et al 2008;Quintelier 2013;Quintelier and van Deth 2014), and participation can enhance attitudes toward democracy even when it is externally induced. As Bratton, Mattes, and Gyimah-Boadi (2005, 310) put it, "Mobilized participation is not bereft of benefits."…”

Compulsory Voting and Dissatisfaction with Democracy

Compulsory voting is often linked to pro-democracy orientations in the public. However, there is reason to question the strength and universality of this link. Engaging research on the effects of coercion and punishment, this article argues that forced participation inflates the tendency of those with negative orientations towards democracy to see the democratic system as illegitimate, and to be dissatisfied with democracy. The study finds support for these expectations in analyses of three separate cross-national surveys and a natural experiment. Compulsory voting heightens dissatisfaction with democracy within key segments of the population.
