A major concern for researchers and managers alike is the inequality in the workforce based on gender and position. Researchers have found that women tend to hold disproportionately lower positions than men and receive remuneration of about 60 cents to the dollar compared to their male peers. This study assessed inequality in wage and position based on gender and whether employees perceived success differently looking at their gender and level in the organization. Employers (N=28) representing large and medium-size Canadian firms, educational institutions, and government agencies were surveyed. Each employer selected three to six successful managers (female and male) and an equal number of support personnel from a variety of departments. Managers identified female respondents and then matched male participants in positions with similar job complexity and responsibility. Responses were received from 296 of those employees who were asked to participate. Respondents completed an anonymous questionnaire about their subjective career success including success in finance, interpersonal relationships at work, and non-work spheres. Results indicated: (1) income and position inequality existed for females; (2) females seemed to perceive themselves as successful as their male counterparts, except for female managers; and (3) possible role and status conflicts existed for female managers between job and non-work expectations. The argument that inequality in income based on gender in particular and its limited effect on a person's dispositional assessment of career success suggests some necessary revisions of models of career development and women's status in the workforce.
