Abstract: | The processes underlying gender discrimination in a large Australian government research organization are examined. Special attention is paid to discrimination that occurs after the initial assignment of employees to career streams or ladders. Several hypotheses were formulated and tested. 37 and 41 percent of the women surveyed stated that they had regularly experienced promotional or day-to-day discrimination. Based on data collected from 625 women and 512 men, evidence is presented for a vested interest explanation as best acounting for promotional discrimination, as distinct from day-to-day discrimination. It is argued that the different forms of gender discrimination require distinct treatment. |
