Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify the predictors of hierarchical success for 3,067 male and female managers. Variables were drawn from five bodies of research perspectives that are frequently used to explain career advancement: human capital theory, socioeconomic origin, family context, work/life values, and structural factors. Results of this study suggest that the career success of men and women is predicted by different variables. Le but de cette recherche est d'identifier les déterminants du succès hiérarchique chez 3 067 cadres masculins et féminins. Les variables ont été puisées au sein de cinq cadres théoriques fréquemment utilisés pour expliquer l'avancement dans une carrière : la théorie du capital humain, l'origine socio-économique, le contexte familial, les valeurs sociales et du travail ainsi que les facteurs structurels. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que le succès de carrière des hommes et des femmes est déterminé par des variables différentes.
