ANNOUNCE A SEMINAR
Gender and Managerial Job Mobility: Career Prospects for Executives Displaced by Acquisitions
by
Sandra Mortal and Vishal Gupta (University of Alabama)
Thursday, 5 August 2021 at 3:00 PM IST
Abstract:-
We investigate how men and women fare in the managerial labor market in the plausibly exogenous circumstance of their firms being acquired, when most target-firm managers (about 90%) are displaced. These career disruptions result in a larger drop in rank and compensation for female managers, despite similar job-search attributes. Gender differences are mitigated when hiring firms have more women in upper-echelon positions. Rich managerial experience and external board service also reduce gender related differences. Overall, results point to a (implicit) ‘gender-penalty’ in terms of managerial job mobility, but also indicate contexts in which penalty is alleviated, and even reversed.
