Abstract: |
| Whether male and female employees show different mobility preferences and patterns attracts scholarly attentions from both management and economics disciplines. This study attends to contribute to this discussion by grounding this questions into different contextual environments. Drawing on the literature of boundaryless career, we argue that the relationship between gender and mobility preference depends on organizational and occupational contexts. Adopting a cross-classified multilevel modelling on mobility preferences cross different boundaries, our analysis support the moderating role of organizations’ female manager proportion in all circumstances, while that of occupations’ gender dominance only holds in the case of mobility across organizations. |
