Air transport and tourism are interdependent systems wherein representations of gender are shaped by organisational cultures. Although airlines have progressed their gender balance, cabin crew work remains archetypically feminine. Taking a feminist poststructuralist approach, this paper uses thematic document analysis to examine how gendered discourses are constituted within airline organisational narratives through text, gestures and symbolic signs. Findings reveal that while airlines work to increase gender equality in employment practices, their efforts predominantly focus on the cockpit, neglecting roles beyond the flight deck. The paper recommends airlines broaden their gender equity focus to all roles and provides a basis for reshaping airlines' gender policies and practices.

在航空业就业中重塑性别

航空运输和旅游业是相互依存的系统,其中性别的代表受组织文化的影响。尽管航空公司已经实现了性别平衡,但机组人员的工作仍然具有典型的女性气息。本文采用女权主义的后结构主义方法,通过主题文档分析来研究航空公司组织叙事中的性别话语如何通过文本,手势和象征符号构成。调查结果表明,尽管航空公司努力提高就业实践中的性别平等,但他们的努力主要集中在驾驶舱上,而忽略了驾驶舱以外的角色。该文件建议航空公司将性别平等的关注重点扩大到所有角色,并为重塑航空公司的性别政策和做法提供基础。
