“…The ratio of women on corporate boards in the United States is 14% and 2% in South Korea (GMI Ratings, 2013). Many attempts have been made to explicate the disparity of gender in leadership/management positions at the individual level, including investigation of factors such as career commitment, lapses from the workforce for family considerations (termed kaleidoscope careers in the United States and irregular employment in South Korea where women have interrupted career paths, opting in and out) (Mainiero & Sullivan, 2005), and, at the organizational level, the existence of implicit or explicit bias (e.g., the glass ceiling) (e.g., Goodman, Fields, & Blum, 2003; Snyder, Verderber, Langmeyer, & Myers, 1992).
