A Study of the Correlation Between the Motives of Female High Self Monitors and Emergent Leadership: A Literature Review
Get PDFIn 1972, researchers reported that only 4% of the Master of Business Administration graduates were women. This figure now exceeds 33%. Similarly, in 1972, women occupied about 20% of non-clerical, white-collar jobs. This figure has now grown to more than 46% (Sharpe, 1994). Sharpe also contended that in 1972, only 17% of all managerial positions were held by women, but by 1994 that number had increased by 43%. Although women have flooded managerial positions in recent years, concern still remains about what some refer to as a "glass ceiling" that prohibits women from reaching the topmost levels of corporate leadership. Ragins, Townsend, and Mattis (1998) stated that, of the most highly compensated corporate executives in Fortune 500 companies only 2% are currently women and only .4% of the Fortune 1000 Chief Executive Officer, (CEO), positions are held by women. Maruca (1997) promulgated that male CEOs blamed the "glass ceiling" on women\u27s lack of experience and time in organizations. In the same study, however, female executives disagreed citing exclusionary corporate cultures as the reason for their lack of advancement to top management positions. This paper looks at one of the human behaviors known to be compatible with emergent leadership, self-monitoring behavior, and its possible relationship to the "glass ceiling" prohibiting women\u27s advancement within corporations

Rebalancing the Scale between the Personal and the Professional
Get PDFWork-life conflicts are hardly new, even in academia. Amelia Earhart, in a letter to her future husband, George Putnam, wrote of "her reluctance to marry, my feeling that I shatter thereby chances in work which means most to me" (Earhart, n.d.). Earhart went on to become not only the most famous woman pilot, but also to hold an appointment during the 1930\u27s at Purdue University as a consultant in the department for the study of the careers of women. Memories of her attempt to fly around the world are documented in her letters to Putnam, whose careful preservation of those communications provides a lasting record to her achievements and the conflicts felt by talented women. (Earhart, n.d.
Revisiting the ERA Movement in Texas: An Historical Analysis of Leadership among Texas Women
Get PDFThe defeat of the national Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in June 1982 ended a period of organized advocacy about women\u27s formal political status. Policy analysts and researchers subsequently identified numerous reasons for the national failure: few state organizations developed for the ratification campaign, lack of preparation for anti-ERA challenges in traditionally-oriented states, fears that the ERA would change women\u27s roles in the home, the unexpected legal benefits the Supreme Court gave women during the 1970s without the ERA, and opponents\u27 effective linkage, however false, of the ERA to legal abortion (Berry, 1988; Boles, 1979,1982,1985,1989; Marilley, 1989)
