Achieving the top: women in management.

Because of its unique structure, the health-care industry can take the lead in creating a responsive organizational environment where women can achieve top-level positions. This requires greater flexibility from both the organization and the individual. This article examines gender-related obstacles (e.g., a male-defined workplace and the inability of women to divorce themselves from family responsibilities) to career advancement and suggests some options to eliminate and overcome these obstacles (e.g., compressed and flexible time and mentoring).

Physician executives' characteristics and attitudes.

This monograph reports on a survey of physician executives who are members of the American College of Physician Executives. The survey emphasized four areas--factors in an individual's move into management as a career choice; satisfaction with management as a career or as an element of a career; factors that prepare a physician to manage; and factors in future development of physician managers.

Exploring the gender gap in healthcare management.

A 1990 study by ACHE and the University of Iowa compared the career attainments and attitudes of a group of male and female healthcare executives. The research showed that among men and women who had entered the field at the same time and had achieved similar educational levels, women did not fare as well as men in terms of salary, position level, or job satisfaction. A follow-up to this study, which consisted of two parts, was conducted in 1995 by ACHE, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Lamalie Amrop International to learn whether the gender gap had narrowed. The 1990 study divided respondents into groups according to the year they entered healthcare management: 1971-1975, 1976-1980, or 1981-1985. The first part of the 1995 project was a replication study that paralleled the 1990 study, dividing a new pool of respondents into three groups: 1976-1980, 1981-1985, and 1986-1990. The second part of the follow-up project was a panel study, in which respondents from the 1990 study were surveyed again. Following are highlights from the 1995 study.
