Rolling With the Punches: Examining the Socialization Experiences of Kinesiology Doctoral Students

“…Mullane and Whisenant (2007) defined the concept as "the process whereby dominants reproduce themselves based on social and/or physical characteristics" (p. 262). Kanter's (1977) seminal work Men and Women of the Corporation elucidated the nature of corporate power and its impact on the opportunities, selfimage, and career outlook of female professionals.…”

Internal vs external promotion: advancement of teachers to administrators

“…Ultimately, individuals perceived to possess different attributes are either not hired or are removed from the organization because of their lack of fit. This theory has been utilized in studies associated with male dominance and racial discrimination within selection (Cunningham and Sagas, 2005; Mullane and Whisenant, 2007; Whisenant, 2008), but can also be identified as a basis for internal promotion (Roach and Dixon, 2006).…”

Gender Typing in Management: Evaluation of Managerial Subroles for Sport

“…The majority of the work identifying barriers women face within management has been within the field of intercollegiate athletics (Cuneen & Sidwell, 2007;Grappendorf & Lough, 2006;Inglis, Danylchuk, & Pastore, 2000;Stahura, Greenwood, & Dobbs, 2004;Whisenant & Pedersen, 2004). However, there has also been research examining women's underrepresentation in interscholastic athletics (Miller, Whisenant, & Pedersen, 2007;Mullane & Whisenant, 2007;Whisenant, 2003Whisenant, , 2008Whisenant, Miller, & Pedersen, 2005). Barriers to women's advancement into senior administration include limited opportunities for female sport management interns while working in sport organizations (Cuneen & Sidwell, 2007), masculine hegemonic influence and sexism in sport organizations (Sagas & Cunningham, 2004;Whisenant, 2008;Whisenant, et al, 2005), the "old boys' network" and homologous reproduction (Grappendorf & Lough, 2006;Whisenant & Pedersen, 2004), relegation of women to less important administrative positions (Inglis, et al, 2000), unfair hiring practices (Stahura, et al, 2004) and stereotypes regarding women's managerial and leadership abilities (Grappendorf & Lough, 2006).…”

“…As women's sports gained status following the passage of Title IX, and the subsequent merging of men's and women's athletic departments at the intercollegiate level, there has been a continual decline in the number of women in positions of leadership in athletic administration (Acosta & Carpenter, 2008). Men have, and continue to maintain, institutionalized control over the most senior levels of both interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic administration (Mullane & Whisenant, 2007;Whisenant et al, 2005;Whisenant, 2003Whisenant, , 2008. The propensity of men in high ranking positions within an athletic department has effectively established an 'old boys' network to which women have been excluded or have had limited access.…”
