Wages and Unequal Access to Organizational Power: An Empirical Test of Gender Discrimination.
Hultin, Mia; Szulkin, Ryszard
Administrative Science Quarterly, v44 n3 p453-72 Sep 1999
A study of Swedish workers investigated whether earnings are affected by the gender composition of firms' managerial staff. Gender-differentiated access to organizational power structures proved essential to explaining women's relatively low wages. Women working in male-dominated establishments had lower wages than firms with more women managers. Contains 75 references. (MLH)
