Women and men in senior management – a “different needs” hypothesis
Tập 16 Số 8 - Trang 400-404 - 2001
Whilst agreeing wholeheartedly that a “glass ceiling” exists and restricts entry
of women into senior management positions, this article postulates that this
factor only partly explains why there are fewer women in senior level management
positions than there are men. Suggests that some women are less interested than
men in reaching senior management ranks. It is proposed that differences in the
p...
Gendered heroes: male and female self‐representations of executive identity
Tập 17 Số 3/4 - Trang 142-150 - 2002
Official organisational myths and storytelling constitute a powerful, persuasive
force in both the public representation and the internal shaping of executive
identity. Leaders of corportate culture are aligned with legendary heroes to
promote images of the senior manager as a heroic and transformational leader.
This process plays upon subconscious images, beliefs and expectations to
reinforce the...

WOMEN MANAGERS AND CAREER PROGRESSION: THE BRITISH EXPERIENCE
Tập 6 Số 2 - 1991
Women in the UK do not achieve promotion into management as readily as men.
Their careers are slower even at early career stages. This appears to be due to
a range of factors including the concentration of women in support functions and
in specialist roles. Women may also be less likely to put themselves forward for
promotion and to suffer discrimination through a combination of implicitly male
ro...

Gender on the agenda 2: unlearning gender blindness in management education
Tập 19 Số 6 - Trang 293-303 - 2004
This paper argues that UK business and management schools continue to operate a
gender blind approach (or at best gender neutral) to management education,
research and the development of management theory. This echoes a pattern
repeated in the practice of management, which closes down and inhibits
opportunities for management to be “done differently” and for organizations to
be different. Our aim ...
Women managers and organizational power
Tập 17 Số 3/4 - Trang 151-156 - 2002
The absence of women from top management was long attributed to the traditional
“ball and chain” of family responsibilities. The fundamental reason for women’s
slow progress in the realms of power may lie elsewhere. Recent research has
sought to identify the elements which constitute an invisible barrier – or glass
ceiling – which continues to keep women from top positions. How far does the
organi...
Gender, gender identity, and aspirations to top management
Tập 18 Số 1/2 - Trang 88-96 - 2003
Data gathered by the authors from undergraduate and part‐time graduate business
students in 1976‐1977 suggested that men were more likely than women to aspire
to top management and that, consistent with traditional stereotypes of males and
managers, a gender identity consisting of high masculinity and low femininity
was associated with aspirations to top management. As a result of gender‐related
s...
