Abstract

This study examines the influence of gender on four objective aspects of career success. After controlling human capital, family context, socioeconomic origin, values and motovations, as well as structural variables, gender continues to have an effect on two of the four aspects: salary and hierarchical level. Cette étude analyse l'influence du sexe des gestionnaires sur quatre mesures objectives du succès de carrière. Après avoir contrôlé le capital humain, le contexte familial, l'origine socio-économique, les valeurs et motivations et les variables structurelles, le fait d'être un homme ou une femme continue d'exercer un effet sur deux des quatre mesures utilisées : le niveau de salaire et le niveau hiérarchique.
