The Intersections of Gender with Age and Ethnicity in Hotel Careers: Still the Same Old Privileges?

Abstract: This article explains the value of an intersectional approach in sectoral research, using this lens to examine privilege and penalty in the female‐dominated hotel sector of New Zealand. Memory‐work and semi‐structured interviews explored the career experiences of long‐term hotel workers, highlighting the extent to which gender, intersecting with age, ethnicity and class, shape individual career choices. The key contribution of this article is to suggest that in hotels, as in other employment sectors, the appar… Show more

“…Similarly, Adamson and Johansson () have demonstrated the complexity of the embodied, gendered notions of what constitutes a credible professional worker. A supposed ‘level playing field’ at entry level to careers soon gives way to complex intersectional experiences of privilege and penalty as gendered and ethnically salient identity power dynamics take hold (Mooney, Ryan, & Harris, ). In sum, intersectionality allows for a more nuanced understanding of how a category of difference impacts experiences of work and employment, including the skilled migration studied here.…”

“…Additionally, research has examined how intersectionality generates inequalities within one’s job. Most research in this space has focused on the impact of one’s intersectionality on wage- and performance-related outcomes (e.g., Cheng, 2016; Mitra, 2003; Torres Stone, Purkayastha, & Berdahl, 2006), career advancement (e.g., Jyrkinen, 2014; Kelan, 2014; Martinez Dy, Marlow, & Martin, 2017; Mooney, Ryan, & Harris, 2017; Skinner & MacGill, 2015; Wright, 2016), and propensity to experience discrimination within organizations (e.g., T. A. Collins, Dumas, & Moyer, 2017; O’Hagan, 2018; Rosette, Koval, Ma, & Livingston, 2016).…”

“…Framing the conceptual meaning of the double gender gap (technology & tourism) requires a multidimensional approach that allows making connections between gender, sectors/contexts, societal norms (structural) and organizational norms (organizational) arising a system of privilege for male groups above women (Mooney et al 2017). Gender, as a category socially constructed (Risman 2004), is at the root of the different dynamics between females and males about segregation in sectorial and technological context.…”
