Why Aren’t We There Yet? The Status of Research in Women’s Career Development

In Why Aren’t We There Yet? The Status of Research in Women’s Career Development authors Nadya A. Fouad, Michael B. Kozlowski, Samantha S. Schams, Kristin N. Weber, Will Diaz Tapia, and Stephanie Burrows review the current status of research in women’s career development. They focus on research conducted on women rather than women compared to men. They propose the need for a separate theory of women’s career development as the research suggests women experience several barriers at various stages of their career. Future implications of research, practice, training and education are discussed. Copyright: 2023
