Making Sense of Women Managers’ Identities through the Constructions of Managerial Career and Gender

This doctoral thesis is about gendered managerial identity construction of women managers. Finnish women managers have been researched from the viewpoints of equality and discrimination issues, careers, and women’s overall positions in work life. However, managerial identity has remained as an unexplored territory. The phenomenon is approached discourse analytically; an interview material that is gathered from 13 women managers in the South-Karelian region is in focus. By studying discourses it is possible to open up understandings how meanings are given to experiences. Women managers’ identity construction is examined from the perspectives of managerial career, managerial practices, and gender. Gender is a meta-concept in this research, as it so profoundly affects our sense of being and acting, although the meaning of it often remains undervalued, invisible, or even denied. This research shows that gender becomes highly visible in managerial contexts, when it is used for some specific purpose, that is, treated as a strategy. By studying women managers it is possible to demystify often so abstract managerial ideals, and open up their taken-for-granted masculine subtexts. It is argued that from the point of view of conducting managerial work, the meaning of self-knowledge appears as critical.

Spezzare la Doxa? La segregazione di genere nel mercato del lavoro

La segregazione nel mercato del lavoro ha dimostrato di essere un fenomeno molto regolare. Osservando i principali indicatori sintetici, troveremo che circa la metà della forza lavoro femminile dovrebbe cambiare lavoro per potersi distribuire fra le professioni nello stesso modo degli uomini, un dato che negli ultimi decenni non sembra essere cambiato. La ricerca si è concentrata sulla socializzazione e come le strutture influenzano l'agency quando le persone pianificano le loro carriere. Tuttavia, riteniamo sia stato ignorato il ruolo della classe occupazionale d'impiego nel dare forma alla segregazione. Facendo riferimento a Bourdieu, la tesi svolge un'analisi empirica su cinque classi occupazionali: dirigenti, professioni intellettuali, tecnici, colletti blu, e professioni non qualificate e dei servizi, stimando modelli logit per calcolare le probabilità delle donne di accedere alle professioni male-dominated, dove gli uomini sono più dei due terzi della forza lavoro. Di particolare interesse è il ruolo della scelta di perseguire un'istruzione STEM e come il campo di studio moderi la relazione fra genere e probabilità di accedere ad una professione male-dominated. I risultati mostrano differenze rilevanti fra le classi occupazionali, e anche fra diversi tipi di campi di studio STEM, suggerendo che la segregazione sia un fenomeno a geometrie variabili che può essere "spezzata" più facilmente in alcune classi rispetto ad altre.

Capturing the complexity of women's experiences: A mixed-method approach to studying incontinence in older women

Capturing the voices of women when the issue is of a sensitive nature has been a major concern of feminist researchers. It has often been argued that interpretive methods are the most appropriate way to collect such information, but there are other appropriate ways to approach the design of research. This article explores the use of a mixed-method approach to collect data on incontinence in older women and argues for the use of a variety of creative approaches to collect and analyze data.
