Abstract

The glass ceiling is a common metaphor for describing the under-representation of women in leadership positions. According to this metaphor, there are invisible barriers which prevent women from being promoted to management positions. The article explores the causes for the under-representation of women in management positions. Specifically, it argues that, in view of the traditional domestic and family division of labor, it is rational that personnel policies favor career opportunities for men rather than women. An egalitarian distribution of domestic and family responsibilities is therefore a basis prerequisite for egalitarian career opportunities. / Die gläserne Decke ist eine seit Jahrzehnten populäre Metapher, um die Unterrepräsentanz von Frauen in Führungspositionen abzubilden. Demnach bestehen in Unternehmen unsichtbare Barrieren, die Frauen davon abhalten, obere Managementpositionen zu erreichen. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach den Ursachen für die Unterrepräsentanz von Frauen in Führungspositionen nach und zeigt auf, warum angesichts der tradierten häuslichen, familialen Arbeitsteilung eine rationale betriebliche Personalpolitik eher Männern als Frauen Karrierechancen eröffnet. Eine egalitäre Verteilung der Haus- und Familienarbeit zwischen den Geschlechtern ist demnach eine Grundvoraussetzung für egalitäre Karrierechancen.
