- W2322794420 abstract "In A Comparative Analysis of Public and Private Sector Entrant Quality (Crewson 1995), one of us challenged, with systematic empirical evidence, a major proposition from the professional folklore. This proposition is that government in the United States faces a crisis because the best minds choose not to go into the public but instead into the private sector. The proposition was tested and found false by means of a crosssectional comparison of a representative national sample of entrants into comparable occupations in the federal sector, the state sector, and the private sector. When Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) scores are taken as the indicator of quality, and the regression equation controls for occupation, family background, race, and sex, then the state sector is found to employ persons with scores no lower than the scores of those in the private sector, and the federal sector employs those with significantly higher scores. The ancillary proposition from the folklore is causal rather than descriptive. It suggests that any lower level of public sector or any decline over time in that may be, in part, a result of increased diversity in the federal workforce. That such diversity does make a difference was denied with the conclusion that, [a]lthough there has been an influx of women and minorities during the 1980s, the federal government does not appear to have imperiled in its effort to increase diversity. In this replication we strengthen the disconfirmation of the first proposition and empirically test the second proposition. The further undermining of the crisis myth proceeds by both defining more firmly the validity of the AFQT as an indicator of quality and testing the effects of diversity on the original regression equation." @default.
