Abstract
The purposes of this study include: first, to understand female managers’ current working status; second, to explore the factors influencing female managers’ promotions in hospitals.
This is a cross-sectional study to understand the middle and high-level female managers’ attitude of the factors related to promotions by questionnaire survey. A structural questionnaire was developed and mailed to 22 regional hospitals and/or medical centers in Taiwan. The effective response rate is 34.2 percent(350/1022). The major analytic method is multiple linear regression.
Three important findings included the following:
1. Individual aspect has non-significant impact on promotions’ perception. It shows that the factors of individual aspect had little impact on female managers’ promotions.
2. Organizational aspect has positive impact on promotions’ perception. It shows that female managers’ promotion opportunities and satisfactions of promotion will increase relatively if hospitals provided fair opportunities of pursuing higher education and fair procedures of promotions.
3. Social support aspect has positive impact to promotions’ perception. It shows that female managers’ promotion opportunities and satisfactions of promotion will relatively increase if they have supports and helps from superiors and mentors.
Three suggestions were made according to the research findings. First, there
shouldn’t have gender discrimination in hospitals, hospitals should build up a fairly promotion evaluation system, and hospitals should protect female staff to have fairly opportunity to apply for pursuing higher educations. Second, female in hospitals should find the way to release pressure, and seek supports and helps from families, colleagues, and mentors. Finally, the study also suggests that future study to survey administrative and medical female managers or male and female managers separately, and to add part of qualitative research.
