Wages and Unequal Access to Organizational Power: An Empirical Test of Gender Discrimination
研究瑞典工人数据，发现工作场所管理层的性别构成影响女性工资，女性在男性占多数的管理结构下工资更低，说明组织权力获取不平等是性别工资差距的关键因素。
This study of Swedish workers investigates gender wage inequality, specifically, whether earnings are affected by the gender composition of establishments' managerial and supervisory staff. Theoretical arguments focus on managers' propensity to create and maintain or to undermine institutionalized gender bias and employees' capacity to mobilize resources and establish claims in the wage distribution process, mainly through social networks. Results show that gender-differentiated access to organizational power structures is essential in explaining women's relatively low wages. Women who work in establishments in which relatively many of the managers are men have lower wages than women with similar qualifications and job demands in establishments with more women in the power structure.
