This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. This data collection contains information on the personal background of 95 United States civilian and military officials involved in foreign policy and their attitudes toward aspects of the international political environment, United States foreign policy, and their own jobs in 1966. Respondents were asked questions about the most important political issues of their generation and their view of the structure of the world political arena, the major causes of war, the just-concluded bilateral agreement between the United States and Russia banning nuclear testing and further arms control, the role of the United Nations (UN) in world affairs, the usefulness of force, the greatest threat to American security, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization-controlled nuclear force, the primary foreign policy objective of the Soviet Union, the impact of the Cold War on American values, institutions, and ways of thinking, and American communists' eligibility for public office. Also elicited were respondents' attitudes toward non-aligned nations. Other variables provide personality scales measuring respondents' degree of dogmatism and rigidity. Demographic variables on respondents provide information on sex, race, nationality, education, religion, family, occupation, political party identification, self-perceived ideological leanings, and official status.

A constitutional change in November 1993 ended the requirement that the Chamber approve all requests to remove parliamentary immunity before the judiciary could proceed, and the dataset thus ends with the end of the XI Legislature in 1994. The data are arranged by RAP and deputy within each legislature. There may be multiple records of the same deputy within the same legislature if the individual was named in multiple RAP. A single RAP may name multiple deputies. Part 3: The dataset on government portfolios lists all ministers and undersecretaries for Legislatures I-XI, Republic of Italy. It includes information on whether the minister was drawn from the Chamber of Deputies, the Senate, or outside the legislature, as well as in which government the individual served. For members of the Chamber of Deputies, the individual's party affiliation, electoral district, party experience, and other demographic characteristics are also included. The data are arranged by individual and government within each legislature. There may be multiple records of the same minister within the same legislature if the individual was seated in multiple governments within the same legislative period. Part 4: The combined dataset on malfeasance, preference votes of DC and PSI candidates, government portfolios, and all seated deputies merges the three datasets above and incorporates the full universe of deputies. The combined dataset contains all the information enumerated above, and also includes records for all deputies not otherwise included, as well as the number of preference votes received by deputies affiliated with parties other than the DC and the PSI. Note that this combined dataset is complex because the same individual may appear multiple times even within the same legislature, for different reasons. The dataset on malfeasance contains a separate observation for each individual charge of malfeasance, so that deputies who are charged multiple times (either within the same legislative period or in different legislatures) appear as multiple separate observations. In the dataset on preference votes, the same candidate may appear more than once, if he or she stands for election in multiple districts and/or legislatures. The same is true, finally, for the dataset of government portfolios, because multiple governments were seated within a single legislature. Therefore, the same minister may appear more than once within a legislature if he or she held office in multiple governments. The component datasets were combined under the supervision of the Principal Investigator on the basis of a unique identifier ("tid") assigned to each individual person/deputy/minister. This allows the researcher to track individual deputies over different legislatures, as well as to track whether the same deputy was charged multiple times with malfeasance or served in multiple governments.

This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. This data collection contains the results of two surveys administered in 1979 and 1980 to provide information on United States federal employee attitudes and perceptions of federal personnel management practices and working conditions. Conducted as part of the evaluation of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, these surveys are based on government-wide samples of employees. Respondents in each of the studies completed a self-administered questionnaire. Part 1 includes information gathered in the 1979 survey, such as personal and employment background, current position, job and pay rate satisfaction, work relationships with other employees and supervisors, work group performance, attitudes about the agency's organizational culture, and perceived promotional opportunities. Part 2 contains the results of the 1980 survey, which was administered to a sample of senior federal employees. The type of data gathered is similar to that in Part 1, with additional information concerning respondents' attitudes about the Senior Executive Service (SES), labor/management relations, and job performance incentives.

This study investigated a sample of federal civil service employees whose political activities were regulated by federal legislation. Questions probed the respondents' political interest and participation in the political process at various levels, their feelings of political efficacy, perceptions of the influence of their occupational role on their political activity and attitudes, their knowledge of the restrictions placed on them, and their evaluations of these restrictions. Many questions were replicated from the Survey Research Center's American National Election Studies (see AMERICAN NATIONAL ELECTION STUDIES CUMULATIVE DATA FILE, 1948-1998 [ICPSR 8475]).

This study is freely available to ICPSR member institutions. Also available as downloadable files. This study examined the various factors involved in the decision norms of street-level bureaucrats. The principal investigators explored how police officers, school teachers, and vocational rehabilitation counselors decided what was fair and right in individual cases and how this assessment affected the delivery of governmental services. The data in this collection consist of street-level work stories or narratives, semi-structured entry and exit interviews, and a structured questionnaire. Participants from the aforementioned job categories were drawn from select southwest and midwest United States cities over a period of three years (1996-1999). Part 1 includes the quantitative data from the structured questionnaire. Part 2 includes transcripts of the narratives and interviews. The entry interview was designed to gather background information on the participants and to explain and schedule the story collection process. Participants were queried about their work history, current job, and relations with citizen-clients, coworkers, and supervisors. They were asked to describe their various personal, professional, and group identities and how their social identities related to those of the citizens with whom they interacted. They were also asked to describe any critical incidents in the history of their agency, such as a public scandal or change of administration, that influenced their work environment. At the conclusion of the entry interview, the participants were given instructions and materials for the narratives. The participants were asked to write down a rough outline of two or three different stories describing situations that took place within their agency. These stories were to focus on instances when the participants' perception of "fairness or unfairness" impacted their decision-making in encounters with citizen-clients or with the agency. The narratives were collected during a scheduled meeting between the researcher and participant. The researcher asked the participant to tell his or her stories, which were tape-recorded. During the initial storytelling, the researchers interrupted as little as possible, asking questions at the conclusion to encourage the story teller to fill in missing or unelaborated details. The tape-recorded stories were transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were lightly edited for clarity and to introduce the observations added in response to researcher probes. The exit interview involved a structured questionnaire and a brief open-ended interview. The questionnaire data were not intended to allow for statistical inference but to describe the participants. The questionnaire asked direct questions about discretion and justice as well as a series of standard questions on task authority, task variety, the frequency of work expectations, the applicability and clarity of rules, and the percentage of time spent working directly with citizen-clients. Participants were queried about the adequacy of resources, work load, job satisfaction, and perceptions of fairness at work. They were also asked questions on ideology and political orientation, as well as hypothetical questions regarding the distribution of rules. The exit interview involved three open-ended questions: What the word "justice" meant to participants, whether participants felt there were groups in America that were treated unfairly, and if any of the rules or procedures at work struck participants as unfair.

For this data collection, interviews were conducted in 1979-1980 with managers associated with the public utility regulation process in 12 states. Respondents were public utility commissioners, public utility commission staff members, utility company executives, assistant attorneys general, and representatives of citizens' groups (both governmental and nongovernmental advocates). Variables include attitudinal measures regarding issues in the public utility regulation process, as well as perceptions of organizational accountability, decision-making processes, allocation of resources, and diffusion of innovations within the various organizations associated with the regulatory process. Background information on each respondent was also collected, but many of these variables were recoded as missing data to protect the anonymity of the respondents.

The Survey of Federal Employees is the Office of Personnel Management's first major survey of the work force since 1983. The questionnaire was designed to provide policy-makers with information that was not available from existing sources. Questions covered various personnel areas such as employee characteristics, employees' satisfaction with their jobs, supervisors, and organizations, performance management, training, work schedule arrangements, leave benefits, and dependent care responsibilities and the ways employees fulfill these responsibilities.

This study provides personal and career-related data about 363 high-level federal employees and 195 former such employees. The first section of the study covers the personal characteristics and background of the employees. Sex, age, and educational history were ascertained, including the field of education and the highest degree received. The employee's occupation prior to entering federal service was also noted. In addition, for each employee or former employee, the study recorded the major occupational focus of the federal position, the agency or department to which the position belonged, whether the position was located at headquarters or in the field, and the civil service grade of the employee. The same information was obtained for positions held at five-year intervals, back to July 1, 1916, or the worker's earliest date of employment by the federal government.
