abstract: 'Current explanations of gender inequality in paid employment fall into
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
two broad groups. Firstly, there are theorists who argue that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
actions and strategies of managers maintain and perpetuate unequal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes for women in the labour market. Secondly, there are theorists
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who argue that women''s lower commitment to work determines their job
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
choices and outcomes. A survey of 643 qualified female NHS nurses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
examines both approaches. We argue that recognizing not only the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
existence of gender-based disadvantage but also its sources are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important in devising effective managerial policies and initiatives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also, conventionally less attention has been given to patterns of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual disadvantage for employees within workforces dominated by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
members of the same gender. Employment disadvantage is shown to exist in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the single gender workforce, as in the more general case, but its
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
operation is subtler and more difficult for managers to detect. This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggests a number of important management implications: a clear need for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
diagnosing potential patterns of disadvantage which may be relatively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
covert; the need to recognize the imperative for monitoring employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equity beyond regulatory compliance; the need for the implementation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effective strategy; and managers'' need to evaluate the adequacy of not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
simply equal opportunities policies, but the broader issue of long-term
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
career planning.'
