“…In addition, the research relies on feminist science and technology studies concerned with the gender gap in this area (e.g. Wajcman 1991;Wyatt, et al 2000) and on research on feminized work (Adkins, 2001;Adkins, Jokinen, 2008). Women enter the labour market more than before, and moreover, and perhaps more importantly, features of traditional women's work, including the focus on care (i.e.…”

The article addresses the question of gender equality in the context of interface organizations between science, technology and innovation, focusing on gendered work practices in science parks. Drawing upon the notions of gendered work practices, feminization of work and feminist science and technology studies, the article explores: 1. Key aspects of work practices in science parks; 2. Gender segregation embedded in these practices; and 3. Practices which help to promote gender equality in intermediary work. The study is empirically based on interviews with top managers and female experts of four Finnish science parks, complemented by one focus group interview with representatives of funding agencies, ministries and intermediary organizations. The study demonstrates that work in science parks is simultaneously future-oriented knowledge work and service work characterized by features of feminization and care (i.e. sensitivity to the needs of clients). Gender segregation commonly seen in the science, technology and innovation sector is reproduced in novel ways in the work practices of the science parks, especially due to the gendered patterns of professional recognition and male networking. This implies that -in spite of the feminised work practices -women do not find easy careers in science parks. The data show, however, that there are also several practices which are used to counteract segregation and promote gender equality, including a number of positive actions developed by women themselves in order to promote recognition and networking in science parks.

“…Both Fletcher (2003) and Adkins (2001) point out that a feminized management ideal not necessarily benefits women, as earlier described. Nevertheless, earlier research on the Norwegian state bureaucracy has showed that women and men aspiring for management positions in fact often receive a fairly similar treatment (Storvik and Schøne, 2008).…”

The article demonstrates management discourse without masculine subtexts. In two organizations in the Norwegian state administration management was talked about either as a truly gender neutral activity or as a "feminine" activity. Managers' primary tasks were to motivate team members and help them develop their capacities, it was stated. Further, team management was described either by the use of metaphors from gardening or childcare. Management discourse without a masculine subtext still appears to be very uncommon in work organizations. Why the typical masculine gendering of management was swapped with a more neutral or even feminine gendering is discussed in the article. It is argued that the successful launching of a non-masculine discourse relied on feminist agents who very effectively created organizational structures supporting such a discourse.

“…Myöhemmin työn feminisoitumisen käsit-teellä on siirrytty kuvaamaan enemmän työn kulttuurisia muutoksia (Adkins, 2001). Tämä tulkinta korostaa feminiinisiksi koodattujen taitojen ja ominaisuuksien tärkeyttä jälkiteolli-sessa tuotannossa: liukuhihnoilla tuotettujen tavaroiden sijaan keskiöön nousevat hoivaa, kommunikaatiotaitoja ja tunteita vaativat aineettomat tuotteet ja palvelut.…”
