Abstract

This study is aimed at revealing the effects of managerialism ideology on the structure and functioning of public institutions providing services for women. This research is a qualitative study conducted with 21 people including managers, bureaucrats, and personnel working in nine public institutions that provide services to women in a province in the Aegean region of Turkey. The research was designed as a case study from qualitative research patterns and the study group was determined using the maximum diversity sampling method. The data in the study were collected by applying semi-structured interviewing and in-depth interviewing techniques created by the researchers. The collected data were analyzed using MAXQDA 2018.1 software program within the scope of the content analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the municipalities and the Provincial Directorate of Family, Labor, and Social Services had experienced a shortage in qualified personnel as well as insufficient budgets. In addition, in the process of applying private sector management techniques such as total quality management, strategic planning, and electronic applications to public institutions, some problems arose related to finances, legislation, the way the institutions operated, and changing goals. However, in general, it provides an effective and efficient service delivery. It was determined that the institutions had problems integrating the perspective of gender equality in their budgeting processes and, recently, the resources for women increased according to the budgetary changes of the institutions.
