Description:
The salience of the issue of women´s underrepresentation in the upper echelons of organizations has allowed research on both women on boards and women in management to develop profoundly. Extensive scholarly work has identified macro-, meso-, and micro-level factors that enable or constrain women´s access to boards, has examined the prevalence, characteristics, opinions and experiences of women directors and shown that board´s gender composition affects various organizational outcomes.
Meanwhile, research on women in management and leadership has dealt with a broader range of issues such as promotions and new hires, leadership styles and gendered stereotypes, backlashes from doing gender in management, managerial identities and gendered discourses, homosociality, and role incongruity. Surprisingly, however, these two strands of research – gender in management and women on boards – have remained rather distinct.
The sub-theme Gender, Governance and Organizations is designed to attract papers that aim at furthering our understanding of the complex interplay between gender, governance and organizations.
In this sub-theme we welcome both empirical and conceptual contributions, and we are particularly interested in papers that bridge the two strands of literature discussed above. In aiming to generate new knowledge, we encourage contributors to address important questions, to draw on alternative theoretical approaches or combine theories that have rarely been combined, and to use innovative methods and different types of data.
