Equal pay for equal work and equal opportunities for promotion, the theme of this study, serves to highlight the conditions for equality in one of the most important areas in most adult lives; work. Why study gender? One answer is that the ability to achieve equality in the social hierarchy, given equal qualifications, is a moral intuition that appears to be a necessary condition for steering a progressive society.

It is important for public administration to make qualified guesses about the future. The public administration does therefore conduct evaluations of their own activities, which later can be a basis for political decision-making. To be able to scrutinize & value results from these evaluations it is important to focus on how evaluations arc made in public administration. One neglected field of research is how evaluators in public administration justify the desirable in self-evaluations & what values the justification is built on. In order to do empirical studies of how the desirable is justified a model of analysis is necessary. The model presented in this article is based on the division between intuition & explanation, where the latter is further divided into deontological, teleological & character-based explanations.
