Gender and cultural change

Abstract

Second, experience has shown that a focus on ‘numbers’ alone is not enough to bring about organizational change. The appointment of more women to senior levels, or the recruitment of women to non-traditional areas of work, is only part of the solution. Where women face hostile cultures, the pressures are great and an undue amount of energy has to be expended in developing strategies for survival. There may also be hard choices to be made about how far to adapt to the ‘malestream’ culture which they face, rather than developing alternative ways of working and opening up the possibilities of change for other women.
