abstract: 'Americans often rely on meritocratic ideologies rather than structural
factors to explain unequal labor market outcomes, but we know little
about how such beliefs are contingent upon individuals'' social
locations. Taking advantage of unique survey data, this article examines
how gender inequality in professional advancement is explained among
successful women professionals in science, technology, and allied
fields-an employment arena potentially characterized simultaneously by
potent meritocratic ideologies and persistent gendered barriers. Using
multinomial logistic regressions comparing structural and meritocratic
frames for explaining the paucity of women at high levels, we show how
respondents in different career and family circumstances use these
conflicting perceptual lenses. We find that married women, those with
business education, and those in the top levels of their organizations
are more likely to account for gender inequality by invoking
deficiencies in women''s human capital or motivation, whereas mothers,
primary breadwinners, sellers of professional services, and those
working in unsupportive organizations are more likely to invoke
structural explanations. This research has implications for social
action. Successful women''s beliefs about gender inequality may influence
whether they help remove structural obstacles for other women, or
whether, through adherence to the meritocratic ideology, they help
reconstruct the glass ceilings they have cracked.'
