| Abstract: | This paper examines the extent to which gender discrimination is a force
effecting the senior managerial ranks of the information systems (IS)
occupation. While the employment trends of women in the IS occupation is
encouraging, we present data which suggests that IS is not immune to the
problems of gender discrimination. Analyzing data gathered by the
Society for Information Management (SIM), we find several serious
problems suggestive of discriminatory practices. First, a
disproportionate majority of senior IS management is male. Second, women
receive lower salaries than men even when controlling for age,
education, job level and tenure within the organization. |
