Gender and Scholarly Productivity in Administration in Social Work, 1977-1995

Abstract

Tests the explanatory power of the labor market segmentation theory applied to higher education in the US by analyzing differences in the scholarly productivity of women & men publishing in the journal Administration in Social Work, 1977-1995. Statistically significant gender differences were observed in publication rates, & in the substantive focus of the articles published in the journal when men & women authors published alone vs when they collaborated with members of the same gender. All statistically significant differences disappeared when controlling for the measure of the higher education labor market. These findings indicate that gender may be a surface, not a real, cause of observed differences in scholarly productivity in this journal. 2 Tables, 52 References. Adapted from the source document.
