Abstract

Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche betrieblichen Faktoren die Präsenz von Frauen in Führungspositionen beeinflussen. Hierbei interessiert uns auch die Rolle des Betriebsrats. Für unsere multivariate Analyse nutzen wir das IAB-Betriebspanel 2014 und verwenden Zähldatenmodelle mit der Anzahl Frauen im Führungsteam als abhängiger Variablen. Wir schätzen sowohl Modelle für die erste als auch für die zweite Führungsebene. Für die erste Führungsebene lassen sich Hinweise auf die in der Literatur beschriebenen Barrieren finden, die als gläserne Klippen und Böden bzw. Etagen, auf denen Frauen kleben bleiben, umschrieben werden. Insgesamt vermitteln die Ergebnisse aber vor allem den Eindruck, dass Frauen in „unattraktiven“ Betrieben eher in Führungspositionen zu finden sind.
