This study aims to contribute to the understanding of how junior women and senior women supervisors experience women-to-women working relationships and its impact on junior women’s careers, thus adding insights into improving women’s career development and representation in organizational leadership. Gender ideologies or strategies for approaching gender differences serve as frameworks, whether towards embracing (gender awareness) or downplaying them (gender blindness).

Analyzing how women approach gender differences also uncovers a more nuanced understanding of the working relationship beyond the contrast of positive and negative women-to-women behaviors. (Less)
