“…The motherdaughter association jumped in the 1990s and has remained strong (odds ratios above 3.0) ever since. 10 (a) (b) The results presented in Table 2 underscore the importance of examining change over time. Specifically, the relative influence of parents on daughters shifts over time.…”

“…Fathers had more impact than mothers on their daughter's career choices in the 1970s and 1980s, and this pattern shifts to a gender-specific role-modeling pattern since the 1990s. 10 The cell sizes for 1976 were too small to report when we tried to differentiate between mother-only and dualcareer marriages, but the increasing maternal effect is evident in the overall mother's effect reported in Table 2. The odd-ratio for mothers and daughters grows from 2.21 in 1976 to 4.14 in 1996 to 5.18 in 2011.…”

“…In particular, policy makers are concerned about a shortage of individuals trained for engineering and other STEM professions. Indeed, interest in generating a skilled labor force underlies much of the research on STEM fields [10,11].…”

Planning a Career in Engineering: Parental Effects on Sons and Daughters

This paper examines the extent to which prospective engineers follow in their parents' footsteps. Specifically, we investigate the connection between fathers' and mothers' employment in the engineering profession and the career plans of sons and daughters. We develop a number of reasons to expect an occupation-specific intergenerational association in this field, as well as hypotheses regarding gender-specific role-modeling. Data are drawn from the UCLA HERI Freshman Survey data spanning 1971 to 2011. The results point to clear and substantial effects on sons and daughters' plans to pursue engineering, connections that cannot be explained by typical pathways such as social background, education and values. The evidence points to a pattern of increasing salience of mothers with respect to the career plans of their children, especially their daughters. The implications of these findings for the under-representation of women in engineering and for gender-specific family dynamics are discussed in the conclusion.

“…Likewise, a traditionally masculine environment with gender or family biases can also provide a barrier for women's career paths (Case and Richley 2013;Gehringer 2015;Settles, O'Connor, and Yep 2016;Valentino et al 2016). Lack of confidence to become a successful faculty member can lead to a rejection of this career by women in STEM majors, leading to a disparity in the number of women faculty (Jacquot 2009).…”

Increased efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in the United States have drastically increased the number of studies offering insight into the experiences of women in STEM programs in higher education. This paper presents a thematic review of the literature regarding their status from 2007 to 2017 including journals, trade magazines, theses, and dissertations. It focuses on areas of recruitment, retention, barriers, and faculty issues. Stereotypes, biases, campus culture, classroom experiences, identity, and sense of belonging are also explored. The author additionally identifies gaps and suggests related areas for new research as well as implications for librarians.

“…Throughout the world of work, differences between the sexes echo differences in the bias of their brains. Women gravitate towards work and discourse with fulfilling and personal dimensions (Case & Richley, ). Men, for the same biologically determined reasons, are interested in things and power, using discourse for those ends.…”

Despite the greater presence of women in the workforce, their organisational experiences remain different from many men's. Most explanations for this difference are based on cultural socialisation or power and dominance. This paper offers the role of brain biology as a missing mediating link explaining the persistence of gendered communication in organisational discourse. The way men and women talk in interactions is mediated by differences in their brain structure, function, and chemistry. This produces gendered communication styles influenced by biology. A biopsychosocial model explains the simultaneous effects that biology, psychology, and socialisation have on each other for understanding gendered discourse style persistence. Following a characterisation of talk, a primer on brain biology is provided in three areas: (1) structure including hemisphere asymmetry, corpus callosum size, and defined brain areas; (2) function including organisation for language and information processing, attention, and emotion; and (3) chemistry, linking each area of brain biology to examples of gendered discourse differences characterising normatively masculine and feminine discourse styles, and a wide-verbalrepertoire style (WVR), used by some men and women. We conclude with implications of brain science for "doing leadership" through discourse in the workplace, in any role, at any organisational level, and the value of such differences. , and three anonymous reviewers for helpful comments on earlier versions of this article. bs_bs_banner
