Abstract
Abstract only
This symposium aims to introduce novel psychological states and emphasize the importance of social contexts for gender inequality, suggesting that management scholars must adopt a broader lens beyond the traditional focus on gender disparities in human capital and occupations when considering gender inequality issues in organizations. Specifically, while introducing novel psychological states and individual characteristics for gender inequality, we emphasize the significance of scrutinizing social contexts (i.e., occupation, corporate, and familial environments) where gender inequality is more likely to manifest. By providing specific contexts that are more likely for gender disparities to occur, this symposium intends to not only identify psychological factors that yield different rewards or gendered psychological states contributing to gender inequality but also attempts to examine ‘when’ those gender gaps in psychological factors are more pronounced, providing policymakers and organizational authorities insights into where they need to pay attention to in order to mitigate gender inequality.
