Does Having “the Right Stuff” Matter? Gender Differences in the Determinants of Career Success Among Intercollegiate Athletic Administrators (2004, background): “However, few academic researchers have addressed the decline and continued underrepresentation of women in intercollegiate athletic administration positions (for exceptions, see Parks, Russell, Wood, Roberton, & Shewokis, 1995; Whisenant, Pederson, & Obenour, 2002 ).”
“Think Athletic Director, Think Masculine?”: Examination of the Gender Typing of Managerial Subroles Within Athletic Administration Positions (2009, background): “Additionally, studies have shown women within senior leadership positions continue to be relegated to athletic director positions at Division II and Division III universities; these positions tend to be considered less powerful or less esteemed positions when compared to Division I athletic director”
Explaining the Under-Representation of Women in Leadership Positions of Sport Organizations: A Symbolic Interactionist Perspective (2007, background): “Indeed, sport organizations represent perhaps one of the most notable of these occupational domains (Fink & Pastore, 1999; Harry, 1995; Messner, 1988; Whisenant et al., 2002).”
The Under Representation of Women in the Male Dominated Sport Workplace: Perspectives of Female Coaches (2010, background): “As proposed by Whisenant, Pedersen, and Obenour (2002), masculine hegemony is the acceptance, widely found in Western society, that men have “rights” to authority, and, therefore, it is only natural that men are overrepresented in positions of leadership.”
