Abstract
This paper reports findings from a survey conducted on Alabama state employees who hold middle and upper level managerial positions (N=317). The fundamental question addressed in the analysis of these data is whether or not men and women differ in key aspects related to their career advancement and style of management. Of specific interest are issues related to helps and hindrances in career development, family obligations, types of mentors, and behavioral style. The findings are consistent with those in other states where comparable surveys have been conducted.Keywords
