| Abstract: | The authors examine the effects of organizations' employment practices on sex-based ascription in managerial jobs. Given men's initial preponderance in management, the authors argue that inertia, sex labels, and power dynamics predispose organizations to use sex-based ascription when staffing managerial jobs, but that personnel practices can invite or curtail ascription. The results show that specific personnel practices affect the sexual division of managerial labour. |
