Moving Ahead or Just Moving?
通过分析《华尔街日报》952则高管任命公告，发现女性新职位与旧职位相似度高于男性，晋升或跨组织流动更少，质疑女性职业变动是否带来与男性同等的职业收益。
Prior research has shown that employees learn by coping with new experiences. However, we examined gender differences in job moves described in 952 Wall Street Journal announcements of senior management appointments and found that women’s new positions were more similar to their previous positions than was true for their male counterparts. Women were less likely than men to be promoted to the management level or move to new organizations, and a greater proportion of women than men were appointed to line positions with prior female incumbents. Among managers in staff positions, women were less likely than were men to move to line positions or different organizational functions. Taken together, these findings raise questions about whether women’s job moves offered career benefits that were comparable to those received by men.
