New Captain but a Sinking Ship? The Influence of HR Director’s Gender on the Status of the HR Department — A Longitudinal Study

Abstract

The past decade has seen profound transformations within the HR profession, one of which is the dramatic increase in the number of women (Reichel, Brandl & Mayrhofer, 2010). Today, in numerous industrialized countries, women represent the majority of HR specialists, and increasingly occupy managerial HR positions (Brandl, Mayrhofer & Reichel, 2008a). Such a rise in the proportion of women working in an occupation is termed ‘feminization’ (e.g. Philipson, 1993; Reskin & Roos, 1990; Roos, 1997). This chapter examines the effect of feminization on the status of HRM. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
