AB  - One of the worldwide movements for reform of public administration
has been the implementation of equal employment opportunity programmes.
Reports on a longitudinal study of executive attitudes towards the
equity reforms introduced in an Australian public service. Results show
that, over a three‐year period, there was a decrease in the perceived
observance of merit and equity principles in Government agencies, and an
increase in the proportion of executives experiencing discrimination.
Although there was greater commitment among executives towards merit and
equity, there was no improvement in their attitude towards an equity
programme for women. Implications for the Equity Reform process are
discussed.
