Abstract

We examined participation by women in four journals devoted to organizational behavior management from 1978 to 2000. The percentage of articles with at least one female author, female authors, female first authors, editorial board members, and associate editors generally increased for all four journals. Increases in female first authors were particularly dramatic. However, the percentage of female editorial board members in the Journal of Organizational Behavior Management and Personnel Psychology was considerably lower than the percentage of female first authors, and increases lagged behind the Journal of Applied Psychology and the Academy of Management Journal. The results are consistent with those found by McSweeney and Parks (2002), McSweeney, Donahoe, and Swindell (2000), and McSweeney and Swindell (1998) in other areas of behavior analysis and psychology, and suggest the possibility of a glass ceiling effect. Results also suggest, that in JOBM, the gender discrepancy may be due to differential publication rates of males and females.
