项目摘要

This is an award under the Grants for Improving Doctoral Dissertation Research Program. The research will study career and family patterns of female executives in finance-related fields. Existing theories explaining why women make up a small proportion of higher management are reconsidered through an approach that takes into account the combination of events that make up turning points in women's lives. These turning points either sustain women in a career trajectory or redirect them in other directions. Detailed interviews from 58 senior female executives and 23 women who began promising careers in the same field but did not continue at the same pace or left entirely will be analyzed using optimal matching techniques, a form of sequence analysis. %%% This research will contribute to sociological understanding of the interrelations among work, family, and gender equality. Innovative methods of analysis will be refined so that they can be of use to social scientists studying career mobility. Findings will also be helpful to policy-makers concerned with ways to increase equality in the work place and to strengthen family relations. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a highly promising student in completing research for the Ph.D. dissertation. Thus it contributes to the future scientific manpower of the nation and the thorough training of the next generation of social scientists.

这是博士学位论文研究计划助学金下的一个奖项。这项研究将研究金融相关领域女性高管的职业和家庭模式。通过一种考虑到构成女性生活转折点的事件组合的方法，重新考虑了解释为什么女性在更高管理层中只占一小部分的现有理论。这些转折点要么维持着女性的职业发展轨迹，要么将她们重新引向其他方向。对58名女性高管和23名女性的详细采访将使用最优匹配技术进行分析，这些女性最初在同一领域有前途，但没有以同样的速度继续或完全离开。这项研究将有助于从社会学角度理解工作、家庭和性别平等之间的相互关系。创新的分析方法将得到改进，以便对研究职业流动性的社会科学家有用。调查结果也将有助于有关政策制定者如何促进工作场所的平等和加强家庭关系。除了这项研究将获得的科学成果外，这一奖项还将对一位非常有前途的学生完成博士论文的研究提供实质性的帮助。从而为国家未来的科学人才和下一代社会科学家的深入培养做出贡献。
