Determinants of Managerial Career Success: Evidence and Explanation of Male/Female Differences
研究292名中层管理者，发现人力资本对男性职业成功影响更强，性别角色对女性影响更强，支持性关系对男性客观成功影响更强，家庭地位无显著性别差异效应。
This study of 292 mid-career managers tested for differential effects of four categories of career success determinants across the sexes. Human capital variables were hypothesized to have stronger effects on men’s objective and subjective components of success than on womens’. The findings provided support in the cases of work experience and company tenure. In contrast, gender roles were hypothesized and found to have stronger effects on both components of success for women. For supportive relationships including mentors and peer networks, the effects were hypothesized and found to be stronger for men on the objective component and the same for men and women on the subjective component. Lastly, family status variables were hypothesized to affect the objective component of success in opposite directions for men and women, and the subjective component similarly. The fndings showed no’differential effect of family status on either component.
