• Abstract:
  The study examined the role and experience of women employed in the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) workforce. The research was designed to help ADOT better understand the factors that both promote and impede women’s employment at ADOT, especially in the job categories for which the department has not achieved parity and for those that comprise less than 25 percent women. The research collected qualitative and quantitative data through a variety of methods and, based on that data, identified opportunities for ADOT to consider as it develops policies, practices, and programs to address the underrepresentation of women in the ADOT workforce. Major findings from the study provided insights on factors that may have facilitated or hindered the attraction, recruitment, and retention of women employees.
