TITLE: Women Management Faculty: An Empirical Look at Their
Status.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1975
NOTE: 16 p.
ABSTRACT: In March 1975, a study was begun to determine
what
the status of women in the management profession really is.
Questionnaires were mailed to the 175 women members of the
Academy of Management. Eighty-one (46 percent) useable
questionnaires were returned. Conclusions were: (1) 25
percent of female Academy members are not receiving raises
and promotion at the time they met criteria; (2) half the
female Academy members may be considered a talent pool for
administrative openings since they have strong
self-concepts
about their administrative ability and are interested in
these positions; (3) a significant number of female Academy
members are not job hunting; (4) some benefits have been
received by female Academy members from the women's
movement; (5) over a third of female Academy members may be
considered a talent pool for industry; (6) female students
of Academy members are still having problems getting jobs;
(7) over half the sample is concentrated in the lower
salary
ranges, yet over half the sample is found in the higher age
range; and (8) the above conclusions coupled with lack of
free-and-open communication by administrators and perceived
attitudes toward women by both chairmen and deans seem to
indicate a lack of affirmative action. (Author/KE)
