Abstract

Zusammenfassung p ]Der Beitrag untersucht den Umsetzungsgrad von Maβnahmen zur Förderung von Frauen in Führungspositionen. Mittels einer Umfrage unter den CDA X-Unternehmen sowie kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) wird eine Bestandsaufnahme angewendeter Maβnahmen erarbeitet und weiterer Handlungsbedarf identifiziert. Dies stellt die bisher gröβte empirische Untersuchung dieser Art in Deutschland dar. Der Beitrag zeigt, dass Unternehmen mit einer vergleichsweise hohen Repräsentanz von Frauen in Führungspositionen einige der Maβnahmen verstärkt umsetzen, diese jedoch über die gesamte Stichprobe eher unterdurchschnittlich häufig angewendet werden. Es hat sich auf Maβnahmenseite bisher kein Standard etabliert; ein hoher Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen scheint derzeit noch das Ergebnis unternehmensindividueller Gegebenheiten zu sein.
