“…The inequalities manifested within organizations are related to opportunities for professional development and incentives for meaningful work (Hooks, 1992; Charron and Lowe, 2005), networking (Loft, 1992; Anderson-Gough et al , 2001; Lupu, 2012); mentoring (Anderson-Gough et al , 2005; Tiron-Tudor and Faragalla, 2018); unsupportive management or supervisors (Siboni et al , 2016); and visibility (Groenewald et al , 2019).…”

“…However, the accounting profession is strongly masculinized, with more men than women in positions of power (Anderson et al , 1994; Barker et al , 1999). Men in power tend to choose other men to nurture (Tiron-Tudor and Faragalla, 2018), so male partners typically do not choose women to mentor them. This issue leads to a vicious circle in which the low numbers of women in leadership positions lead to a low number of women being mentored and helped to rise to leadership positions themselves.…”

“…Large-, small- and medium-sized accounting firms worldwide have attempted to address gender inequality issues through such corporate practices as transparent and neutral recruitment, retention and promotion. These also include discussions of strategies for mentoring, selective networking and establishing a partnership arrangement with another adviser (Lupu, 2012; Richards et al , 2020), flexible working-hour arrangements (Cohen, 1997; Tiron-Tudor and Faragalla, 2018) and parental leave with benefits for female and male parents equally. However, these strategies receive differing support from management depending on company size and manager gender, as Adapa et al (2015) highlight in the Australian context.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore intersectional gender inequalities that exist in accounting organizations. Design/methodology/approach A review of the literature, covering the period from 1990 to 2020, assesses the intersectionality of professional and social factors that shape inequalities in women’s professional accounting careers. Findings This study presents the complex facets of women’s inequality in gendered accounting organizations. The results reveal that inequity persists in accounting organizations despite organizational changes. The findings highlight the relevance of further research in gendered organizations to capture the intersectionality of gender with other forms of inequality. Practical implications This review informs professional organizations, accountants and company managers about the persistence of gender concerns in the accountancy profession in the last 30 years, despite stated accounting profession commitments to achieve gender equality, as promoted by United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Moreover, some possible solutions are proposed. Originality/value This study focuses on a complex and challenging issue, contributing to the literature by extending classical narrative literature. This study presents a structured view of the various intersections of professional and social characteristics that created inequalities and the suggested solutions.

“…From the social constructionist point of view, gendered labour market outcomes have been shaped by a gender system, in which men, the dominant group, overpower women, the subordinate group (Connell, 1987). Gendered behaviours and gender inequalities in the workplace have been created and maintained by this gender system owing to men's efforts in holding on to power (Tiron-Tudor & Faragalla, 2018). Linked to gendered labour market outcomes from the social constructionist perspective are the gendered division of labour, androgyny, and mentoring.…”

The findings from this study make several contributions to the current literature. First, this study is one of the first to thoroughly examine the gendering process in Vietnam in general, and in Vietnamese academia specifically. The new insights about the gendering process help to pave the way for the development of gender studies in Vietnam, (de)construction women’s careers in Vietnam, and to integrate a minority perspective into mainstream scholarly works. Moreover, my study explores the construction of gender and its impact on women’s experience in the labour market in relation to the imposition of eastern and western knowledge in a developing country whose colonial history is shaped by both eastern and western colonisation. This study will be of interest to any colonial discourse scholars who attempt to challenge the view of the relations between (and among) Western and Eastern countries as binary, fixed and categorial with the West as the colonisers and the East as the colonised.One major limitation of the study is that although the study focuses on the ‘other’ perspective, the Vietnamese academia is treated as homogenous and some factors such as ethnicities or regional culture have not been paid adequate attention. In addition, my study focuses solely on academic women in heterosexual relationships and therefore might overlook the subordination of people with non-heteronormative forms of sexuality.

“…As desigualdades e empecilhos enfrentados pelas mulheres para a construção de uma carreira com perspectiva de ascensão e liderança devem ser conjugados com os estereótipos de gênero que resultam em percepções subjetivas relacionadas a noções biológicas e papéis sociais pré-estabelecidos (BOSI, 1977;SILVA, 2017;WELLS, 2017). Essas questões têm sido percebidas e discutidas também no contexto da profissão contábil, em âmbito internacional, como revelam estudos diversos ao longo dos anos (ADAPA; SHERIDAN, 2019;FASCI;VALDEZ, 2004;FLYNN;EARLIE;CROSS, 2015;HULL;UMANSKY, 1997;ANDERSON, JOHNSON e RECKERS, 1994;SMITH;BRIGGS, 1999;TRAAVIK, 2018;TIRON-TUDOR;FARAGALLA, 2018;TRAPP;HERMANSON;TURNER, 1989;TWOMEY;LINEHAN;WALSH, 2002). Nacionalmente, Casa Nova (2014), Lemos Júnior, Silveira e Santini (2015), Silva (2016), Silva, Magro e Silva (2016), Vaccari e Beuren (2017), Zabotti (2017), Silva e Silva (2018), entre outros autores discutem o assunto.…”
