Sex bias in business ‘regional’
A&M study says women face more discrimination in South
University News Service
Women executives face less discri
mination in the Northeast and West
than in the South and Midwest,
according to a recent study co
authored by a doctoral student in
Texas A&M’s College of Business
Administration.
“Studies reveal that men’s and
women’s attitudes about executive
women differ significantly and that
biases have a very real effect on
women’s performance appraisals.job
assignments and promotions,” said
Charlotte D. Sutton, who is complet
ing a Ph.D. in management. She co
authored a study with Dr. Kris K.
Moore, professor of information sys
tems in Baylor University’s business
school.
“Our study indicates that attitudes,
in general, tend to be more conserva
tive in the southern and midwestern
regions,” they write in the report
published in “Personnel Adminis
trator.”
Sutton and Moore surveyed 782
executives, 44.5 percent of whom
were men and 55.5 percent were
women. The executives were selected
randomly from Standard & Poor’s
and Dun & Bradstreet references.
Almost 24 percent of the respon
dents came from the South; 33 per
cent from the East; 23 percent from
the Midwest; and more than 20 per
cent from the West.
The researchers found a definite
pattern in attitudes among regions.
The study found that executives in
the western region were the most
accepting of women in management
positions. Executives in the Midwest,
while expressing positive attitudes
about women executives, generally
were the least positive, the study re
ported.
One of the biggest differences fell
in the area of personal attitudes.
While the majority of the executives
from each region expressed general
ly favorable attitudes toward women
in management, differences were re
ported in expressing “strongly favor
able” attitudes about corporate
women.
Almost 65 percent of the western
executives indicated “strongly favor
able” attitudes; 57 percent of the east
ern executives; 48 percent of the
southern executives and only 40 per
cent of the midwestern executives.
The executives surveyed also said
they felt women can and do make
valuable contributions to manage
ment, but the strength of the opin
ions again differed. Although 52 per
cent of the respondents in the West
strongly agreed with the statement,
only 31 percent of them in the Mid
west strongly agreed; 40 percent in
the East and 43 percent in the South
strongly agreed.
The executives were also asked to
respond to the statement, “Women
rarely want positions of authority.”
More than 8 out of 10 executives dis
agreed, but executives from the West
and East rejected the statement
strongly.
Management researchers write,
“It may be that executives in the Mid
west and South are less supportive of
women in business because more of
those executives believe women are
not serious about moving up the cor
porate ladder.
“They may view female employees
as women simply trying to make ends
meet or working for ‘pin money’
rather than as women desiring posi
tions of responsibility.”
Protection sought
for Texas dunes
AUSTIN (AP) — A special study
committee on coastline erosion
agreed Monday that statewide beach
dune protection is needed, along
with a provision that would allow
property owners to reconstruct
dunes wiped out by storms.
Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur,
said, “The Legislature needs to pass
some guidelines so property owners
will know whether they can recon
struct their beach homes and px oper-
ty after a hurricane.”
After considerable discussion the
Special Committee on Texas Coast
line Rehabilitation voted to ask the
General Land Office and the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department to
prepare guidelines that would be
presented to the committee at its next
meeing.
The special panel, which has held
public hearings at several Gulf Coast
cities, met Monday for a work session
to consider what it might recommend
to the 1987 Legislature.
A suggestion by Sen. Carlos
Truan, D-Corpus Christi, that dune
protection regulations be made state
wide was quickly approved. Current
ly, rules against sand dunes being
bulldozed by developers or otherwise
changed are enforced only by certain
coastal counties.
Committee member Sharron Ste
wart of Brazoria County said, “Dune
protection should be extended for all
the coast. A lot of people can’t under
stand you can’t just haul in sand and
make sand dunes. It must be a slow
buildup with the proper vegetation.”
Parker said, “It seems to me re
establishment of dunes by the prop
erty owners would be a benefit to
everyone. I don’t see anything wrong
with that.”
Several Galveston Island property
owners have been prosecuted by
Attorney General Jim Mattox for
trying to rebuild hurricane-damaged
homes.
Mattox claimed the boundaries of
the public beach have been changed
by a hurricane and the damaged
homes are now on the public beach.
The suits are on appeal.
Stewart said, “I think we should
make it like a building permit. The
property owner must get a permit to
rebuild the dunes just like building a
beach house.”
Sen. Chet Brooks, D-Pasadena,
chairman of the committee, sug
gested the permits could be issued by
county governments according to
guidelines laid down by the General
Land Office and the Parks and Wild
life Department, with approval of the
attorney general’s office.
The committee also:
• Instructed the staff to propose
legislation that would create a state
agency similar to the Coastal and
Marine Council that was dissolved by
the 1985 Legislature. Truan said a
statewide agency was needed to coor
dinate coastal resources along the
Texas coast.
• Instructed the staff to look into
possible changes in the law that
would require dredgers in the Inter
coastal Canal and along the coast to
save and store beach-quality sand in
stead of dumping it at sea.
Dallas crime victims
begin to fight back
DALLAS (AP) — Jitn Beam
says he isn’t sorry he shot and kille-
man who was trying to rob his li
quor store.
“It made me mad,” he said, re
calling the Leb. 1 shooting. “If I
get a chance, I’ll fight back.”
Police say he is one of a growing
number of local crime victims who
are fighting back, partly because
criminals themselves have become
more violent.
Dallas police Sgt. Mia Sullivan
said, “There is more violence even
in purse snatching. It is uncalled
for, unincited violence, when the
victim complies and it seems to not
matter.”
Sullivan said police still discour
age crime victims from fighting
back, which has little impact on
crime overall.
“The best thing for a victim is to
be highly observant and remem
ber as much of the description as
possible,” she said.
Employees of 7-Eleven con
venience stores, for example, say
they are taught not to resist. Beth
Pineda, assistant manager of a 7-
Eleven, said she has been robbed
several times, although not by any
one armed.
“I give them what they want,”
she said. “Whatever they want to
take is fine with me; I just put it
down and notify security.
“It’s no fun being robbed. You
have to fill out more forms than if
you had a baby.”
Beam, 51, who shot and killed
Johnny Earl Harrison during the
February robbery, said he has had
a long policy of fighting back. He
said he has been robbed by armed
men three times in nine years. Fif
teen years ago he shot another
robber.
“You’ve got to fight back when
you’ve got the chance,” he said.
Others who fought back,
according to the Dallas Times
Herald, include:
• Tim Adrian, 21, manager of a
food store, who on Jan. 8 ran after
a man who robbed his store of $42.
Adrian shot the man, and the sus
pect was arrested later at a hospital
where he was being treated for a
chest wound. Adrian’s store had
been robbed six times and burgla
rized four times in the six months
Adrian was manager.
•On Jan. 14, Frank Estrada, 36,
shot one of two men allegedly
breaking into his car. Police said
Estrada fired two warning shots
then shot at the two suspects. One
man was later arrested at the hos
pital.
• On March 6, a rape victim, 26,
fired three shots at her assailant as
he left her house. Police later
found the wounded man they be
lieve was the suspect, and he died
of a bullet wound in the lower
back.
• On June 4, Jim Rush, 66, own
er of a discount sporting goods
store, shot and killed a 26-year-old
Dallas man who Rush said was
buying a gun when he grabbed the
weapon, egan loading it and hit
Rush over the head.
U.S., Canadian UAW workers separate
TORONTO (AP) — Canadian
autoworkers, concluding their bid
for greater autonomy, on Monday
approved their split with the U.S.-
based United Auto Workers in a
move that brings the American un
ion’s membership to its lowest level in
25 years.
The Canadian union, represent
ing about 140,000 workers, expects
the dea( to officially close next
month. All but one of 318 delegates
from 108 locals voted for the split.
The two labor groups have been
negotiating a settlement since De
cember 1984, when the Canadian
section announced it would pull out
from the UAW.
Canadian union chief Robert
White engineered the secession on
nationalistic grounds differences
with UAW President Owen Bieber
over the direction of the UAW. The
Canadians have been tailoring their
own labor contracts for several years
and had objected to what they viewed
as interference from Detroit and to
UAW contract concessions to auto
makers.
The UAW, whose convention de
legates last week also approved the
split, is left with 1,040,000 dues-
paying members, the lowest since
1961, according to UAW statistics.
The new body will be called the
National Automobile, Aerospace and
Agricultural Implement Workers
Union of Canada (CAW-Canada).
The acronym CAW stands for Cana
dian Auto Workers.
The agreement calls for the trans
fer of about $32 million in assets and
interest from the American to the
Canadian union, White said.
