| Summary: | Analysis of survey data from 214 men and women who graduated from theological seminaries between 1972 and 1977 examines the results of their efforts to be placed professionally. Most were placed. However, in terms of whether and where they were placed, in what kind of position, over what period of time, and with what reward structure, women were consistently less successful than men. Individual attributes such as performance and credentials did not explain gender differences in placement outcomes, but social structural variables did, particularly involvement in formal placement systems. Men's placement was contingent on relatively few conditions. Women were placed primarily if they conformed to established placement procedures and were structurally integrated with executives who could advocate their candidacy effectively. Practical implications for women in the ministry are pointed out. |
