Job and industry fit: the effects of age and gender matches on career progress outcomes
研究232名MBA校友的数据，发现年龄和性别匹配影响职业进展，如女性薪资随年龄增长不明显，男性则显著；性别与工作性别类型交互影响薪资，且年龄、性别与行业年龄类型三者交互影响晋升次数。
Abstract Using a sample of 232 MBA alumni, we tested the impact of respondent age, gender, and their interaction on career progress outcomes (managerial level, number of promotions, and salary) and whether age‐ and gender‐type of contexts moderated these relationships. Women's salaries did not increase much with age, whereas men's salaries showed a marked increase with age. We also found a gender × job gender‐type effect on salary, such that women earned somewhat higher salaries in masculine‐typed jobs, while men earned considerably higher salaries in feminine‐typed jobs. In addition, we observed a three‐way interaction between gender, age, and age‐type of industry indicating that younger men received more promotions in old‐typed industries, while younger women received more promotions in young‐typed ones. Results are discussed in light of cognitive matching approaches and status characteristics theory. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
