Gender Equity among Academic Scientists and Engineers: an Organizational Analysis

本研究将从招聘、职称、任期和薪酬四个方面探讨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”，并通过学术机构组织特征的不同来解释其严重程度。其框架是扎尔德的政治经济学理论。这些数据来源于美国国家科学基金会资助的1989年博士学位获得者调查和来自CASPAR（计算机辅助科学政策分析与研究）数据库的机构补充信息。PI将对自然、社会科学、工程等代表性领域的理工科教员的就业结果进行二次数据分析，并对入门级教员的招聘进行初步分析。

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.
