Gender Equity among Academic Scientists and Engineers: an Organizational Analysis

这项研究将从招聘、学术级别、终身教职和薪酬四个方面调查学术就业中的性别平等问题。其目的是衡量这些领域的性别“差距”，并说明其严重程度与学术机构的组织特征的不同。框架是扎尔德的政治经济学理论。数据来源是NSF赞助的1989年博士学位获得者调查，以及Caspar(计算机辅助科学政策分析和研究)数据库中有关机构的补充信息。PI将对自然科学、社会科学和工程学代表性领域的科学和工程教师的职业生涯成果进行二级数据分析，并初步分析入门级教师的招聘情况。

This study will investigate gender equity issues in four aspects of academic employment: recruitment, academic rank, tenure, and salary. The purpose is to measure gender "gaps" in these areas and to account for their severity with variations in the organizational characteristics of academic institutions. The framework is Zald's political economy theory. Sources for the data are the NSF- sponsored 1989 Survey of Doctorate Recipients and supplementary information on institutions from the CASPAR (Computer Aided Science Policy Analysis and Research) data base. The PI will conduct secondary data analysis of career outcomes for the science and engineering faculty in representative fields from the natural and social sciences and engineering and analyze the recruitment of entry level faculty initially.
