Abstract:
The research paper titled “Women stargazing at The Old Boys' Network - A review of the bravado of women as they overcome Unsaid Unseen Barriers in Hospitality Industry” is based on the scholarly articles, papers, books in hard and soft copies, one to one interviews from women and men in hospitality industry published in form of literature available between 1990s to present year. The article draws upon various notions and ideas expressed by distinguished scholars on the prevalence, existence and perceptions of the Old Boys’ Network on several hoteliers, entrepreneurs and colleagues, existing and former, of the hospitality industry. Women’s reluctance to publicise their achievements or actively seek promotion appeared to be a further career penalty . It was evident that the managers who were unable to transfer geographically for promotion every two to three years were considered less suitable for promotions in the hospitality industry. This had a bigger impact on women’s promotions due to various factors (societal, cultural and patriarchal) vis a vis men with spouses whose principal role was homemaker, actively pursued career building transfer opportunities. The network often secluded working women in a gender discriminatory manner, causing women in five star hotels who are keen to ascend to leadership positions and they expect organisations to realise the promise of diversity to facilitate their career ambitions. They adjust their feelings of satisfaction and develop career strategies to reduce dissonance with their lack of ability to attain executive positions. This old boys’ network was often said to have been one of the causes contributing to the existing gender role segregation which maybe constraining equal opportunities for women at the workplace in hotels and on the other hand provides, shelters and aids more than flexibility or promotion-friendly policies for men.
