Abstract

Research has shown that gender inequality persists at managerial levels, with an increasing number of women occupying middle and lower managerial positions while men dominate higher managerial roles. This phenomenon, often referred to as the “glass ceiling,” represents an invisible barrier characterized by gender biases that prevent women from attaining high-level positions within organizations. A notable gender gap remains in the professionalization of the classical music field, particularly in orchestral conducting. To understand how gender politics and occupational sex segregation affect women’s career development, workplace relationships, and gender relations, this study conducts qualitative research using latent-content analysis of the film The Conductor. It examines how women experience occupational sex segregation under gender politics and societal norms. The findings reveal that deep-rooted gender norms and biases within male-dominated professions not only limit women’s access to leadership roles but also reinforce occupational segregation. By highlighting the struggles of women in breaking barriers, the studyexplores the potential for women to cultivate their own female subjectivity, empowering them to overcome occupational sex segregation and affirming their significance in male-dominated professions. This research has some limitations as it focuses on the narratives of an individual female in the film and hence cannot adequately represent the diverse experiences of women in different occupations. Future research may compare and analyze real-life cases from different occupations and cultural backgrounds to gain a comprehensive understanding of gender dynamics.

Abstract

Institutionalization is a socialization process through which the values, beliefs, policies, and practices of an organization are instilled within the members of that organization that they might collectively adopt these values or rules and commit themselves to that organization. However, those being institutionalized under authoritarian discipline may lose the freedom of their soul and a personal level of self. In order to raise readers’ awareness of the impact of institutionalization and commitment on the individual or collective actors, this study intends to use the film The Shawshank Redemption as a case study, using content analysis as a qualitative research technique to analyze the symbolic scenes in the film in order to reveal how commitment and stability via institutionalization can be brought into the organization. To achieve this goal, the study uses Scott’s institutional theory and Meyer and Allen’s organizational commitment model to demonstrate how commitment may greatly impact people. Those being institutionalized, like Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption, may lose their ability to think and act independently and thus lose their hope for fulfillment. However, those like Andy and, later, Red, choosing to hold on to freedom of the soul and a personal level of self, can deinstitutionalize themselves; break free of the shackles, either physically or spiritually, of the organization; and make a commitment toward their own inner development.
