Influences Of Organizational Gender Prejudice On The Career Development Of Female Managers

With the popularization of gender equality,women play an increasingly important role in the economic and social development process.Among factors that affect the career development of female managers,the atmosphere of organizational gender prejudice is particularly noticeable.In this thesis,the author started from the theoretical and practical background of organizational gender prejudice affecting the career development of female managers,and summed up domestic and foreign research findings.Based on gender equality theory and career development theory,the author set up a research framework to analyze organizational gender prejudice's influences on women managers in their career development.By designing a questionnaire on female managers' perception of organizational gender prejudice atmosphere,the author carried out a questionnaire survey on and interviewed 199 female managers from governmental sectors,enterprises and public institutions in Zhongshan City,Guangdong Province to gather data and information needed by thesis writing.On this basis,a micro-perspective of organizational gender prejudice's influences on the career development of female managers was proposed.First of all,through a series of descriptive analyses,it was found that organizational gender prejudice mainly manifests as four dimensions of employment gender prejudice,salary gender prejudice,occupational gender prejudice and promotion gender prejudice.Among above four dimensions,salary gender prejudice has little effect on the career development of female managers in Zhongshan City,while the most influential is occupational gender prejudice,followed by promotion gender prejudice.Secondly,through a difference analysis,it was found that organizational gender prejudice did not have significant differences at the age level,but there were significant differences in marital status,education level and position class.Thirdly,it was discovered from a regression analysis that the four factors affecting organizational gender prejudice have a significant negative correlation with the career development of female managers.Lastly,by virtue of an interview analysis,the basic fact that organizational gender prejudice has influences on the career development of female managers was further proved.Reasons for organizational gender prejudice's affecting the career development of female managers include deep-rooted concept of traditional male supremacy,the backwardness and lack of protection mechanisms for female rights in workplace,male monopoly barriers to career development resources and multiple role conflicts of female managers.In this case,in the new era,organizational gender prejudice should be eliminated constantly,while personalities and needs of female managers should be respected to the greatest extent,thus promoting the career development of female managers.To be specific,at national level,institutional mechanisms to protect women's workplace rights and the publicity and education of gender equality should be enhanced;at organizational level,it is necessary to create a favorable atmosphere of gender equality,strengthen career planning for female managers and create beneficial conditions to their career development;in terms of female managers,they should set suitable life goals,keep improving occupational abilities,maintain favorable interpersonal relationships and develop professional development resources to relieve multiple role conflicts,thus achieving effective balance between their jobs and families.
