摘要

This study investigated the association of organizational characteristics with the percentage of management positions held by women in a group of medium-sized to large private sector workplaces. Results support hypotheses derived from resource dependence and institutional theories and illustrate that characteristics of organizations predict a substantial portion of the variation in the percentage of management positions filled by women across industries. Effects differ for organizations in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries.
