“…The U.S. sample is split between males (46%) and females (54%), while the Japanese sample is almost completely male (99%), as only one of the 120 respondents is female. This situation is common outside of the U.S., as males (Maxwell and Ogden, 2006) also dominate retailing in others countries. A second disparity is company size: sixty-one percent of the U.S. sample come from companies with annual sales above $100 million, while the majority of Japanese buyers report annual company sales below $100 million.…”

“…The career development of women and men managers is equally important in achieving this. Previous research has been conducted on the career development enablers and barriers experienced by managers in the retail sector (c/f Broadbridge, 1999;Maxwell and Ogden, 2006). Much of this work indicates that retailers can do more to make careers more gender equal.…”

1 Structured Abstract PurposeThis paper examines Generation Y, potential graduate entrants to UK retailing, in respect of their job experiences, career perceptions and initial employment expectations. Design, methodology, approachUtilising qualitative research methods, an exploratory study was undertaken with 33 students (all of whom fell into the category of Generation Y) from two UK universities. FindingsThe study found that many of the propositions contained within the Generation Y literature were reflected among participants in relation to their future career and lifestyle aspirations. This points to the need for retailers to carefully manage graduate expectations and experiences to ensure commitment to the sector. Research Limitations/implicationsBeing an exploratory study, the results are not genralisable to the wider population. The findings frame a future longitudinal study on the retail careers of Generation Y graduates as they move from the anticipation to the encounter stage of their career development. This will seek to further explore the implications of Generation Y values, including those relating to diversity and equality which were not raised as an issue in this preliminary study. Originality/ValueThe findings of this research contribute to our knowledge of the career aspirations of Generation Y. It indicates to retailers some of the future recruitment and HR practices they might adopt to meet the needs of this generation of employees.

“…On the other hand, limited career mobility of women has been pointed out as a restraining factor for woman assuming challenging work assignments (Ogden, 2006) in preparation of senior management. Women are found to be more sensitive to career needs of their husbands rather than vice versa and tend to adopt their career involvement according to the attitudes of the husband (Cleveland, Stockdale, & Murphy, 2000).…”

Women middle managers aspiring for senior management execute their career choices in a unique career context. They experience the influence of personal social support and non-support in executing their aspirations towards senior management. Yet, it is observed that measures available to capture personal social support and non-support of this cohort of careerist are not adequately comprehensive. It was felt that there is a considerable space to develop a measure on personal social support and non-support as a contextual factor that affects career choice of women in middle management aspiring for senior management. This paper aims to highlight possible multiple dimensions of personal social support and non-support that affect career aspirations towards senior management amongst women in middle management. Concurrently, it offers some recommendations to develop a measure to capture aforementioned phenomena. To fulfill above aims, a targeted literature review on main areas under discussion was carried out in leading scientific databases such as EBSCOhost, JSTOR, ProQuest, Science Direct, and SpingerLink with the use of key words: women, career choice, aspirations, management, leadership, social support, significant others , and measurement. It is believed that development of a measure to capture the influence of personal social support and non-support in career aspirations towards senior management amongst women in middle management might contribute to enhance the quality of research conducted in this area and intervention programmes taken up to support female senior management aspirants.
