Abstract
In 1992, Reskin and Padavic reported that 46% of the U.S. workforce were women (25), ranking the administrative assistant, a.k.a. secretary, as the number one female occupation (53). This paper focuses on the boss-secretary relationship and updates a 1977 research study by Rosabeth Moss-Kanter investigating the influence of organizational structures on corporate relationships and employees. Findings suggest that this female dominated occupation has made limited progress toward greater gender equality in the workplace.
