This study is a cross-cultural examination of the relationship between organizational
culture and women's advancement to management in organizations. The source of data
for this study was the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness
Research Project, a cross-cultural study of societal culture, organizational culture,
and leadership. The results of this study indicate that aspects of organizational
culture typically associated with women are related to women's progress. In organizations
in which organization members reported shared values of high humane orientation and
high gender equity, organization members also reported high percentages of women
in management relative to other organizations in their society. In addition, organizational
cultural practices that emphasized high humane orientation, high gender equity, high
performance orientation, and low power distance were also related to reports of high
percentages of women in management relative to societal norms. Results of regression
analysis predicting the percentage of women in management from the dimensions of
organizational culture indicated that gender equity practices and values emphasizing
humane orientation contributed significantly to the prediction of the percentage
of women in management. Organizational cultural practices related to gender equity
were found to be the most important predictor of the percentage of women in management.
This study adds to the literature on women's progress in organizations by further
extending the focus from individual and structural characteristics to characteristics
of organizational culture. The findings suggest that change agents focused on increasing
opportunities for women in management should attend to organizational culture, particularly
aspects of culture related to gender equity practices.
