The changing face of women managers in Taiwan

Earlier research suggests that women workers in Taiwan face gendered career barriers and pay differentials and suffer work-family conflict. Hsung and Chow (2001) found that the women interviewees in their study perceived their firms to have ‘glass ceilings’ and that, the higher a woman’s level, the more likely she was to perceive such a barrier. They also found significant pay differences between men and women. Similarly, Tang (1992) found women managers to consider themselves disadvantaged compared with their male counterparts in terms of promotion and compensation.
