Gender Diversity and Inequality Career Development and Diversity Work-Family Balance Challenges

Abstract

This study developed a scale to measure individual perceptions of dimensions of the work organization that contribute to a supportive or hostile environment for women. Based on analysis of survey data from 398 respondents working in corporate settings, a scale was developed to measure five dimensions: Dual Standards &Opportunities; Sexist Attitudes &Comments; Informal Socializing; Balancing Work &Personal Obligations; and Remediation Policies &Practices. Women perceived their work environments as significantly more hostile on all five dimensions than did men. Scores on the scale were related to intent to stay with the organization: For both men and women, the friendlier they perceived the work environment for women to be, the longer individuals intended to stay at the company.
