Inhalt: The research project 'The Career Development of Male and Female Scientists' wants
to identify these barriers and develop policies to overcome them. Essentially, it
tress to address the 'genderization of science' (Etzkowitz et al., 1992) by linking
organizational structures in academia and science to individual career trajectories.
The aggregate data look at are: organizational turnover, organizational demand for
scientists, and the rising supply of qualified female scientists. The authors analyze
individual-level data in terms of gender differences in motivation, ability, and job
involvement. Finally, they explore the genderization of organizations and investigate
the way in which - via recruitment, promotion policies, mentoring, and monitoring
- 'invisible colleges' and informal networks lead to a cumulation of disadvantages
especially for female academics. Taken together, the data will help us to understand
why female participation stagnates and why equality is not in sight - despite high
gains in educational attainment. (IAB2)|
