Men and Women Managers' Advancement: Personal or Situational Determinants?

Ce travail s'est donne pour objectif l'etude de l'importance relative des facteurs personnels et environnementaux dans l'avancement des femmes cadres. On a suppose a priori que l'avancement des ces femmes etait plus en rapport avec leur travail et leur statut prive qu'avec leurs attitudes ou leur socialisation precoce. En outre, des differences liees au sexe ont ete introduites pour rendre compte de l'impact sur l'avancement des variables personnelles et des situations specifiques. Des donnees ont ete recoltees par questionnaire aupres de cadres australiens repartis sur six echelons, 654 femmes et 616 hommes. L'avancement etait operationnalise par la promotion et l'echelon. Des analyses de regression ont montre que pour les femmes l'avancement etait plus en relation avec la situation qu'avec les variables personnelles
