abstract: 'This article examines risk-taking in the job search process and whether
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women and men who are part of a dual-career couple experience different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
work-related consequences for taking such risks. Specifically, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explore how the decision to reveal dual-career status in the academic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job search process impacts faculty members'' later promotions,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
productivity, pay, mobility, and career-related goals. We draw on a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sample of roughly 230 faculty in seven US universities who were part of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a dual-career couple at their time of hire. We find that risk-taking
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
during the job search impacts some career outcomes, and does so
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
similarly for women and men. Members of a dual-career couple who took
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the risk of revealing their dual-career status before a job offer
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reported significantly more positive career experiences related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
promotion and productivity than those who did not reveal their status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
during the job search. Only the salary outcome was negatively related to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
revealing dual-career status in the job search process. Because of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
nature of academic hiring, revealing a risky status during the job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
search process may ameliorate barriers to employment. Our study has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important implications for research and the development of academic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dual-career policies that make dual-career hiring more transparent.'
