Is there a link between family structures and women's and men's managerial career advancement?
通过纵向数据发现，家庭结构对男女管理者的晋升有不同影响，无子女单身男女和单亲父亲晋升较慢，传统父亲晋升更快，而母亲若配偶有工作则晋升不受影响。
The aim of this study was to assess the impact of family structures on the managerial career advancement of managers and professionals using a longitudinal design (Time 1 n=3555; Time 2 n=2339). Family structures were found to predict managerial advancement for women and men and employment disruption for women only. Advancement in organizations was lower for childless single men and women, and for single fathers, than for other family structures. Greater managerial advancement was associated with being a traditional father, in the private sector, whereas mothers with employed spouses (posttraditional mothers) advanced in management as much as other women. The impact of family structures on male and female advancement was not affected by employment disruption but was moderated by employment sector. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
