Abstract: | A firm-level data base is used to estimate a simultaneous model of the interaction of performance, ambition, and rewards in the international promotion process of managers. Differences between men and women in "managerial momentum" - sustained career progress within the firm - are described and analyzed. It was found that in the Canadian firm studied, the tendency of women to rely more than men on formal bidding for promotion to secure offers of promotion deprives them of managerial momentum. Men's greater use of informal networks in gaining promotion is a less meriocratic means, and indeed one that enables men to offset performance evaluations that are on the average lower than those of women. |
