공직사회 개방형 직위 임용의 양성평등 문제:‘유리문 효과(Glass Door Effect)’ 가설의 유효성 = Gender Equality in the Recruitment of the Open Position System : Focusing on the Application of ‘Glass Door Effect’ Hypothesis

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to introduce the concept of ‘glass door effect’ for the recruitment of women's career positions in the Korean government. This study also aims to apply this concept to the recruitment of the open position system in the central government. The widely-known concept of 'glass ceiling' effect is a phenomenon observed among women mainly in the promotion process of an organization. On the other hand, the ‘glass door effect’ usually takes place in the hiring of outsiders through interviews with high-ranking officials. The main results of the study are as follows. First of all, the number of open positions in the central government has steadily increased, but the number of female employees has been very small. Male public servants accounted for most of the open positions, but women recruited from outside were found to be very few. This phenomenon has been maintained by the central government for a long time. Meanwhile, this study presented scarcity of career woman, non-occupational factors, gender preference, dissimilarity repulsion, cooperative system and job characteristics as criteria for glass door effect. Based on these criteria, in-depth interviews were conducted on women who applied for open positions. The results of these exploratory interviews imply the existence of ‘glass doors’ in the recruitment process for experienced women applicants. Consequently, this study proposed several policy implications on the basis of these results.
