Shaping a career in management: The importance of gendered expectations
The study focuses on students in professional bachelor programs, how men and women navigate career opportunities after graduation. The research is based on longitudinal data from 969 Norwegian students. A crucial finding is that when men and women have equal expectations of entering a management position, they also attain such positions equally often. The results also reveal that women have equally high ambitions as men, but lower expectations of…
Introducing the Feminist Management Discourse in Organizations
The article demonstrates management discourse without masculine subtexts. In two organizations in the Norwegian state administration management was talked about either as a truly gender neutral activity or as a “feminine” activity. Managers’ primary tasks were to motivate team members and help them develop their capacities, it was stated. Further, team management was described either by the use of metaphors from gardening or childcare. Management…
Picturing Politics: Female Political Leaders in France and Norway
This article explores images of high-level female politicians in France and Norway from 1980 to 2010, examining the ways in which they present themselves to the media and their subsequent reception by journalists.

In contrast, Norwegian female politicians have challenged the traditional leade…
In search of the glass ceiling: Gender and recruitment to management in Norway's state bureaucracy1
There are still fewer female than male managers in Norway's state bureaucracy. This article asks if there are organizational barriers which prevent women from entering these positions. Is there really a glass ceiling, or must one look outside the organizational environment to find an explanation? Is it rather the case that the scarcity of female managers is caused by women's own preferences or their life situations outside work? Or do both contri…
Seductive Heroes and Ordinary Human Beings
We take as our point of departure Weber's well-known taxonomy of forms of authority (Weber, 1947; 1968). Traditional authority, which first of all characterizes pre-modern societies, is based on inherited privileges and positions. Legal authority, which is often termed rational and bureaucratic, is based on position and competence. In addition, it is impersonal. By contrast, charismatic authority is personal, not positional. It has one main featu…
Glasstaket – metafor med utilsiktede virkninger? Kjønn, ledelse og rekruttering i staten
Likestilling i arbeidslivet – hva betyr det, og hvordan skal det studeres? En kommentar til Trond Petersens artikkel «Likestilling i arbeidsmarkedet»
Ledelse revidert – kjønn ekskludert. En studie av ledelsesidealer i staten
