A Conceptual Framework for Contextualizing Womens Subjective Career Success (SCS)

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

"Careerist" successful females are found to be rejected as relevant role models for some women, which demonstrates the limits of defining career success according to objective elements only. Drawing from a body of literature, this study assumes that the mixed results of the impact of gender on SCS may stem from the individualized way that SCS is defined, thus ignoring the social roots of people's cognition of career success. The study contributes to both the development of more gender-inclusive theories and the establishment of gender inclusive institutions at organizational and societal levels.
