Finding a Normal Woman Selection Processes for Board Membership
Abstract
The higher the organization level, the lower the
percentage of women in governance. The purpose of the
present study was to explore how men and women negotiate
women’s ‘fit’ as candidates for boards of national sport
organizations.We based our analysis on in- depth interviews
with male chairs and female board members. The results
provide evidence that men can control boards by affirming
and negating affirmative action policies and by framing the
process of recruitment and selection in such a way as to
reproduce the male-dominated culture in the board. Women,
in their turn, tend to negotiate their entry by distancing
themselves from their gender and proving their ‘fit.’
