Gender Diversity and Inequality Employment, Labor, and Gender Studies Career Development and Diversity

Abstract

This article presents a study of women graduate engineers entering male-dominated organizations and management positions. The individual perspective used in most of the previous studies in the Women in Management tradition is criticized and a structural approach to gender and organization is developed. The main data come from case studies in six large Norwegian companies where pairs of comparable male and female graduate engineers were selected. The study shows how the differences in organizational structures are the main explanatory factor for the differences in opportunities for careers.
