| Abstract: | The purpose of the present study is to explore whether supply and demand-related theories can help to explain organizational variations in the domination of men in managerial positions. The exploration is based on a case study of personnel policies and practices applying to managerial recruitment in two Norwegian state bureaucracies. The two organisations have several features in common, and yet the presence of women in the top managerial ranks has developed in different directions. In Organisation 1 male dominance persists in top positions, although for some time men and women have been more or less equally represented in middle management. In Organisation 2 gender equality has been steadily advancing at all position levels throughout the 1990s. The empirical findings point in different directions, depending on whether a supply or demand perspective is adopted in explaining these results. |
