Catalyst Research Paper

Women currently hold 23 (four point six percent) of the CEO positions at the top 500 companies in the world (Women CEOs of the S&P 500, 2015, April 3, New York: Catalyst). This thesis asks the question why women are infrequently found at the occupational top. The underrepresentation of women at the occupational top might explain why there are fewer women in organizations where men dominate the top. Due to the majority of men being involved in leadership positions (Brown & Watson, 2010; Ceci, Ginther, Kahn & Williams, 2014) women might not have a person to identify with at the top (Kirchler, 1992). The scope of this issue may be part of a larger issue where a culture of sustained gender-inequality persists (Ceci, Ginther, Kahn & Williams, 2014).
