Abstract

Presents the results of a survey conducted among the largest firms in Greece concerning the participation of women in management. Finds that the presence of women on the higher echelons of the managerial ladder in most firms covered by the survey was minimal or non‐existent. Women’s participation at the middle and lower levels of management was also relatively small. Discovers that a large percentage of senior managers were found to hold negative preconceptions about women or believed in old‐fashioned gender stereotypes. Supplements the presentation of the results of the survey with a discussion of their implications and an exploration of certain policy issues.
