The Fragmented State and Due Process Protections in Organizations: The Case of Comparable Worth
以“同工同酬”为例，提出国家模型应纳入公共政策随时间变化以及国家权力因分权和联邦与地方分治而碎片化的事实，以完善组织中正当程序保护扩散的理论。
This analysis starts with models of the diffusion of due process protections in organizations that emphasize the role of the state, especially those from the institutional perspective. The case of equal pay for work of comparable value is used to develop propositions concerning important additions to current models of the expansion of due process protections in the workplace. First, we suggest that models of the nation-state should include an explicit recognition that the progressiveness of public policy varies over time. Second, we suggest that models of the nation-state should include explicit recognition of the fact that state authority is fragmented by the separation of powers and the partition of federal and local authority. Implications for future theory and empirical study that follow from these additions to current models are discussed.
