Abstract

In this paper we examine the determinants of the attitude towards a women’s quota in higher management positions among the German population. Hypotheses are derived referring to Bourdieu’s Habitus-theory and preliminary tested using data of a cross-sectional survey (N = 886). Gender, age, a progressive political orientation and an interaction between higher education and gender foster the aggreement with a women’s quota, but not gender role models.
