Gender and Scholarly Productivity inAdministration in Social Work, 1977-1995

Perceptions of Professional Social Work Journals: Findings From a National Survey

“…For example, Schiele (1991) found that African American social work researchers published signifi cantly less than their majority counterparts. Similar differences have been found for men and women across disciplines (Park, 1996;Wilson, Hossain, Lubin, & Malebo, 1999). In an assessment of the relationship between gender and publishing productivity in Administration in Social Work (ASW (ASW ( ), Wilson, Hossain, Lubin, and Malebo (1999) found that women published fewer articles and were more likely to publish articles that focused on gender issues.…”

They also found that these gender differences disappeared when controls for school rankings were introduced.…”

“…A signifi cant portion of the research on the publication process in social work has focused on the publication rates of schools of social work (Thyer, Boynton, Bennis, & Levine, 1994), individual social work faculty (Bentley, Hutchinson, & Green, 1994), editorial boards (Lindsey, 1978;Pardeck & Meinert, 1999), or various interest groups (Bentley et al, 1994;Schiele, 1991;Wilson et al, 1999). In fact, at one point, the proliferation of such studies evoked a call for a moratorium on this type of research (Kreuger, 1993).…”

Lack of Gender Bias in Citation Rates of Publications by Dendrochronologists: What is Unique about this Discipline?

“…What is unique about dendrochronology that makes gender immaterial for citation rate? One possible reason is that female dendrochronologists are highly productive researchers, something that is not found in other disciplines where women's publication productivity lags behind men's (Wilson et al 1999;Dorsey et al 2006;Frietsch et al 2009). Among dendrochronologists, there was no significant difference (t 5 21.31, p 5 0.20) in the average number of first-authored papers published by men (average 12 papers) vs. women (average 9 papers).…”

Effects of Gender, Education, and Age upon Leaders’ Use of Influence Tactics and Full Range Leadership Behaviors

“…Demographic variables such as gender, age, and educa tional level have been used to predict many behaviors, including effectiveness (Eagly, Karau, & Makhijani, 1995;Thompson, 2000), communication style (Kirtley & Weaver, 1999), decision making (Ganzel, 1999;Radecki & Jaccard, 1996), productivity (Kovar & Overdorf, 1995;Wilson & Hossain, 1999), participation (Itzhaky & York, 2000;O'Connor, 1996;Williamson, 2000), confl ict style (Chusmir &Mills, 1989;Duane, 1989; P. S. Sorenson, Hawkins, & R. L. Sorenson, 1995), success (Blank & Levesque, 1993;Chusmir & Parker, 1992;Sutherland, 1999), and power (Jenkins, 2000;Lips, 2000). Although a great deal of research has concerned the relationship between leadership and gender, few researchers have explored the relationship between leadership and age, and fewer still the relationship between leadership and educational level.…”
