%0 Journal Article %J Humanity & Society %D 2020 %T Women Faculty in STEM Disciplines: Experiences with the Tenure Process and Departmental Practices %A Rodica Lisnic %A Anna Zajicek %A Brinck Kerr %X Using Faculty Job Satisfaction Survey data, the purpose of the study is to explore predictors of perceptions of tenure clarity for faculty in STEM and non-STEM fields. We use the gendered organization framework to examine whether for four groups of faculty (women and men in STEM and women and men in non-STEM), assessment of fairness in tenure decisions and evaluations, messages about tenure requirements, mentoring, and relationships with peers have a similar effect on their assessment of tenure clarity. Women in STEM fields are less likely to perceive the expectations for tenure as clear or to assess tenure decisions and evaluations as fair, mentoring as effective, and relationships with peers as satisfactory. %B Humanity & Society %G eng %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0160597620978773
