Examining the Glass Ceiling: Gender Influences on Promotion Decisions
Abstract
Evidence continues to demonstrate that women managers receive lower
organizational rewards such as salary & promotions than men. Two
recent studies are presented to illustrate the research focus on the
personal characteristics of organizational decisionmakers in an effort
to explain the persistent & pervasive glass ceiling. Although the
gender of organizational decisionmakers does not seem to influence
promotion decisions, decisions by both male & female managers seem
to be influenced by social & organizational contexts.
