TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Political advocacy in the context of "Show me your papers": how do human service administrators respond to policy upheaval? JO - Journal of policy practice A1 - Smith, Brenda D. A1 - Womack, Bethany G. A1 - Knierim, Matthew SP - 166 EP - 186 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - This study focuses on the political advocacy of human service administrators following implementation of a highly restrictive state immigration law. It tests hypotheses to assess whether factors associated with the political advocacy of human service administrators generally are also associated with advocacy at a time of policy crisis.

FINDINGS suggest that few human service administrators engaged in immigration-related advocacy, and that those who did advocate were those most likely to perceive organizational benefit for doing so. The findings raise questions about the conditions under which human service administrators will advocate for social benefit in an organizational or individual role.
