- W377528684 abstract "A number of practitioner surveys across a range of industries have cited the lack ofsenior female role models as a barrier to career progression. There is very littleacademic literature to explain this at a senior organizational level. An initial review ofthe extant role model literature led to the inclusion of two further related areas –organizational demographics, as a contextual factor affecting the availability of rolemodels, and work identity development as a link between the lack of senior femalerole models and the lack of career progression.In seeking to answer the question of why and then how female role models areimportant for senior women, this study fills an identified gap in the comprehension ofthe concept of role models and their importance in the workplace. It addresses a needto understand both the key elements of the concept and the mechanism by which theycome into play.The research uses qualitative methods, specifically in-depth semi-structuredinterviews. These were conducted with a senior group of 33 female directors from sixglobal investment banks, in order to elicit their experiences of role models indemographically imbalanced work contexts.Analysis of interview data considered all three areas of role models, demographiccontext and work identity development. As the women forged their identities in themale-dominated context of global investment banks, what became clear was that whothey are and have become was informed by the critical relationships they have had.Whilst clearly some of the women had found male role models with whom to developthese critical relationships, there were some identity issues, particular salient towomen, which could not be addressed by men. Thus the findings demonstrated theutility of female role models.This thesis has a number of contributions to make on varying levels:On a conceptual level, this study adds to our understanding of the value of rolemodels, particularly detailing the affective or symbolic value. It has added to theconceptualization of role models, detailing what were the core attributes of individuals chosen to be role models, who they were in relation to the women, howthe women used them and why they were important.It has combined the three literature areas of role models, organizational demographicsand work identity development in a way not previously done, and has shownempirically that they are related and explain each other. Organizational demographicsaffect the availability of role models. And it is suggested that the relatively newtheory of relational identification is the mechanism that explicates how the presenceof positive female role models is a key influence on women’s work identitydevelopment.It has clarified the value of role models in extreme gender demographic contexts, andhow and why they are important to senior women’s professional development, therebyadding to the theory of role modelling.Practically, the study explains why women in surveys may have been citing the…" @default.
