Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Many scholars link standard (family-unfriendly) workplace policies and practices to gender inequality, but it has been difficult to determine whether corporate work-family policies actually benefit women’s careers. Using national data on the sex and race composition of the managerial workforce and the personnel policies and benefits of over 800 U.S. private sector establishments, we investigate whether corporate work-family policies increase women’s representation in management. We distinguish between policies that help caregivers, who are still disproportionately women, subscribe to the “ideal worker norm” of unconditional devotion to work and work-family policies that challenge this norm. In fixed effects models with extensive control variables, we find that work-family policies that make minimal changes to existing expectations for committed workers such as child care benefits benefit women’s careers. Those policies that involve more substantial changes to the institutionalized expectations of when, where, and how much work is done do not succeed in moving more women into management.
