An Organisational Structure Approach to Gender Differences in Career Progression Experiences in an Academic Setting

This study is currently a work in progress. The overall aim of this study is to explore similarities and differences in career progression experiences of men and women in an Irish University. The study uses the organisational structure approach as a theoretical lens to examine a range of factors that can facilitate and impede career progression. To date data has been collected through online surveys. The next phase of the research will be data analysis before presenting the results to reflect career progression experiences based on gender, focusing specifically on differences in the patterns of results recorded between the genders.
