“It's Not in Sport Media's Interest to Challenge the Norms That It Benefits From”: Gendered Organizational Logics and Their Impact on Women in Sport Media
通过对23位英美体育媒体女性的访谈，揭示了体育媒体组织中性别化的组织逻辑（如苛刻的工作安排、对女性的贬低假设）如何影响女性工作体验，并探讨了年龄、种族等交叉因素的作用。
ABSTRACT Sport is a gendered environment that legitimizes and celebrates the prioritization of men. Sport media mirrors these inequities, evident through the sustained underrepresentation of women in this space. We sought to identify the gendered organizational logics of sport media organizations and their resulting impact on women's experiences. We also aimed to understand the role of intersectional factors (i.e., age, race/ethnicity, family status, and socioeconomic status) on women's experiences. Through semi‐structured interviews with 23 women working in sport media in the United Kingdom and United States of America, we found that gendered organizational logics include demanding work schedules and content production expectations, assumptions about the inferiority of women, and fiscal responsibility justifications. Additionally, findings reveal that women's work experiences are also impacted by the organizational logics of sport organizations, including gatekeeping access and workspace design and working conditions. The logics of sport media and sport organizations intersect and result in women navigating a gendered workspace through managing their appearance, grappling with lack of work–life balance, the need for privilege for career sustainability, questioning their belonging, and working through imposter syndrome. Sociodemographic factors provide insights to the racialized and classed experiences of women working in sport media. Study findings have implications for sport media and other types of organizations, including the impact of nonemploying organizations' practices on workplace gender inequity.
