  • Title: Women and men managers in pharmacy: gender issues.
    Author: Cockerill R, Tanner J, Barnsley J, Williams AP.
    Journal: J Health Adm Educ; 1999; 17(3):199-210. PubMed ID: 11184901.
    Abstract:
    This paper examines the backgrounds, behaviours, and attitudes of a representative sample of male and female pharmacy managers in Ontario, Canada. It shows that the female managers are younger than their male colleagues, and spend significantly more time on childcare activities. There were no differences between the male and female managers in terms of work commitment and job responsibilities, but the female managers spent more time in direct patient contact, an activity that the qualitative analysis indicated was important to them. Female managers were also more supportive of strategies that would encourage additional patient counseling. For faculty in health administration programs, the results suggest that the importance that females place on the psycho-social aspects of their jobs as managers needs to be recognized and supported in the development and delivery of courses of study.
