Meritocracies or Masculinities? The Differential Allocation of Named Professorships by Gender in the Academy
基于511名美国顶尖研究型大学管理教授的样本，研究发现女性获得冠名教授职位的可能性低于男性，尤其是在内部晋升时，且女性从学术成就中获得的回报更低，表明管理学界存在男性主导的环境。
This study analyzes differential appointments by gender to the rank of named professorship based on a sample of 511 management professors. This sample represents approximately 90% of our original survey sample of faculty at Tier 1 American research universities, with 10 or more years of experience since receiving their PhD, and whose contact information we could obtain online. Contrary to the tenets of the meritocratic evaluation model, we find that, after controlling for research performance and other factors, women are less likely to be awarded named professorships, particularly when the endowed chair is awarded to an internal candidate. Furthermore, we find that women derive lower returns from their scholarly achievements when it comes to appointments to endowed chairs. Our study suggests that a masculine-gendered environment dominates management departments, leading to shifting standards when it comes to the highest senior appointments in academe.
