Abstract: The purpose of this study is to find whether there is a significant difference in the agreement as to whether the federal agency supervisor provides an employee with opportunities to demonstrate his or her leadership skills based on sex and educational level, using data from the 2018 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. The study applies a Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H Test of independent samples of 515,223 federal employees to find a significant difference in the leadership skills and potentials of federal employees based on sex and educational level. Both sex and level of education of federal employees are significant determinants of differences in the leadership skills and potentials of federal employees. This paper further suggests that irrespective of the gender of the employee, the level of education of the employee determines the level of opportunities, leadership skills and potentials.
