Developing Rigorous Research for a 21st Century Public Workforce
CLEAR's Mission
CLEAR's Mission
The Civic Leadership Education and Research (CLEAR) Center conducts research and provides education on public service labor markets and institutions. Employment in public service constitutes a significant proportion of the national labor economy. CLEAR helps others understand and develop the talent needs of the civic leadership workforce for the 21st century with a focus on governance capacity, diversity, and the impacts of technology, politics, and the economy on public service occupations. We are dedicated to objective and rigorous social science research that can inform the resilience and robustness of our civil service institutions.
CLEAR's Research
We conduct macro-, meso-, and micro-level analysis on and in civil service labor markets. We focus on inter-sectoral and inter-institutional relations, public and nonprofit workforce dynamics, and developing civic leadership for the next generation. Our work has been generously supported by the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies (Georgia State University), the Volcker Alliance, and the IBM Center for the Business of Government, among others. Our research covers such topics as public sector labor market dynamics, behavioral public administration and policy, diversity management and representation in public organizations, the political economy of civil service, and technology and change in public organizations.
