We examine job satisfaction of LGBTs in the US federal workforce by following the path of the diversity management and job satisfaction research. We empirically test this relationship using the 2014 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey employing confirmatory factor analysis and structural equal modelling. We find that increased perceptions of a culture of diversity contribute to LGBT employee perception of their skills being effectively utilized as well as employee job satisfaction. We also find that LGBT's perception of their skills directly contributes to job satisfaction. We conclude by offering policy implications for public managers to consider when developing diversity management strategies for marginalized groups. Résumé Quels sont les facteurs qui influencent la satisfaction au tra-vail des groupes marginalisés? À cette question, la littérature sur la gestion de la diversité propose des réponses variées. Dans cet article, nous examinons la satisfaction au travail des personnes LGBT dans l'effectif fédéral américain en suivant la piste des recherches sur la gestion de la diversité et la satisfaction au travail. Nous testons empiriquement la relation entre les deux concepts en nous appuyant sur le Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey réalisé en 2014, sur l'analyse factorielle confirmatoire et sur la modélisation égale structurale. Les résultats montrent que les perceptions accrues d'une culture de diversité contribuent non seulement à la perception que l'employé LBGT a de l'utilisation effective de ses compétences, mais aussi à sa satisfaction au travail. Par ailleurs, la perception qu'il a de ses compétences contribue directement à la satisfaction au travail. Nous concluons en proposant les aspects politiques que les gestionnaires publics doivent considérer pendant la mise sur pied de stratégies de gestion de la diversité en faveur des groupes marginalisés.

Through a study of newspaper stories and press interviews about the implementation process, we find evidence of a gap that exists between the interpretation of the demolitions by residents of the Lower Ninth, and the need to carry out disaster clean-up among city officials and the USACE. This gap, we suggest, is constitutive of an implementation problem that may best be dealt with in policymaking processes focused on planning for disasters.

This study argues that not only are public officials and the media important in this process, but their credibility and reliability as sources of information is more complex than previous research has suggested. My investigation employs a direct effects logit model to determine the impact of the "crying wolf" hypothesis and the black empowerment hypothesis on the hypothetical evacuation of New Orleans residents. The findings indicate that both hypotheses may impact the evacuation of residents and warrant further study by those doing evacuation behavior research.

Specifically, the authors look at his sponsorship and cosponsorship of legislation to determine his level of activity, type of legislation proposed, and overall legislative success. The authors find that Senator Obama was the most active in sponsoring social welfare legislation and using cosponorship as a way to address other substantive policy areas. These findings will be central in how his opponents for the Democratic nomination will characterize him during the nominations process.
