Abstract

Although scholars have studied women's career barriers, how mid-level female managers conceptualise and contest such barriers to senior-level positions under the impact of gendered nei-wai ideology remain unknown. Based on 39 in-depth interviews with mid-level female managers from academia, government, and industry, this study aims to propose a conceptual framework regarding women's underrepresentation in tourism and hospitality management positions in China. Findings based on a gendered nei-wai ideology revealed factors inhibiting mid-level female leaders' promotion to senior positions across social, organisational, familial, and personal dimensions. Besides being passively rejected from further promotion, mid-level female leaders might subjectively cease promotion to conform to family and social expectations. Yet in contemporary society, a growing number of Chinese women have begun to recognise their disadvantaged positions and fight against these obstacles. These findings advance the literature on women career advancement and aid practitioners in encouraging gender equality and gender diversity.

阻碍中层女性领导晋升高级管理职位的障碍:来自中国旅游业和酒店业的证据
尽管学者们已经对女性的职业障碍进行了研究,但中层女性管理者如何在性别内慧意识形态的影响下构思和抗衡这些通往高层职位的障碍仍是未知数。本研究基于对来自学术界、政府和行业的 39 位中层女性管理者的深入访谈,旨在就中国女性在旅游与酒店管理职位中代表性不足的问题提出一个概念框架。基于性别内慧意识形态的研究结果揭示了阻碍中层女性领导晋升高级职位的因素,这些因素涉及社会、组织、家庭和个人层面。除了被动地拒绝进一步晋升外,中层女性领导可能会主观地停止晋升,以符合家庭和社会的期望。然而,在当代社会,越来越多的中国女性开始认识到自己的不利地位,并与这些障碍作斗争。这些研究结果推动了有关女性职业晋升的文献的发展,并有助于从业者鼓励性别平等和性别多样性。
