Abstract

The purpose of the present study is to examine how the numerical restructuring of the workforce affects the experiences of women within management. Research suggests that when considering numerical restructuring, a distinction should be made between the numerical representation of women and their level of intrusiveness. The effects of these two factors on the experiences of discrimination among female managers were examined in light of the concept of relative deprivation. Moreover; relative deprivation was used to account for women's motivation to promote their personal and collective situation. Reactions from a total of 253 female managers were investigated. Structural equation modeling technique (EQS) confirmed in part the proposed model Practical and theoretical issues are discussed.
