Sweden is known to be one of the most gender-equal societies in the world. Thus, it remains as an enigma why a large discrepancy continues to exist regarding the gender balance in career choice and progression in many professions. Drawing on Hirdman's (1988) theory of gendered systems, in this paper, we explore the role of career resilience in the career progression of women who choose to work in the male-dominated IT sector. We draw attention to how the day-to-day process of practicing career resilience in a gendered workplace tends to evolve as women progress in their careers. Based on an interview study with 50 female IT professionals as well as a discourse analysis of 502 newspaper articles on women in this sector, we develop a process model of career resilience in gendered professions, outlining different coping strategies that allow women to develop and enhance such resilience over time. We conclude the paper by providing some practical recommendations.

瑞典男性主导的 IT 行业中女性专业人士的职业弹性:从过程的角度来看

众所周知,瑞典是世界上性别最平等的社会之一。因此,许多职业的职业选择和发展中的性别平衡为何继续存在巨大差异仍然是一个谜。借鉴 Hirdman (1988) 的性别系统理论,在本文中,我们探讨了职业弹性在选择在男性主导的 IT 部门工作的女性职业发展中的作用。我们提请注意,随着女性在职业生涯中的进步,在性别化的工作场所实践职业弹性的日常过程往往会如何演变。基于对 50 名女性 IT 专业人士的访谈研究以及对 502 篇关于该行业女性的报纸文章的话语分析,我们开发了一个性别职业职业弹性过程模型,概述不同的应对策略,使女性能够随着时间的推移发展和增强这种适应力。我们通过提供一些实用的建议来结束本文。
