Abstract
Der Beitrag vergleicht den Effekt der Geschlechterzusammensetzung im Beruf auf die Verdienstunterschiede von Frauen und Männern zwischen Führungspositionen und Nicht Führungspositionen in der Privatwirtschaft auf der Basis von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Anhand gängiger theoretischer Ansätze wird die Hypothese entwickelt, dass in Führungspositionen die Qualifikationsanforderungen und Arbeitsinhalte der (wenigen) Frauenberufe jenen in Männerberufen ähnlicher sind als unter den sonstigen Angestellten. Entsprechend niedriger ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Verdienstabschlägen typischer Frauenberufe in Führungspositionen. Die Verdienstschätzungen unter Anwendung linearer Fixed-Effects-Modelle mit Heckman-Korrektur verdeutlichen, dass nur bei weiblichen Nicht-Führungskräften ein Verdienstabschlag für Frauenberufe besteht. Eine Komponentenzerlegung der Verdienstlücke zwischen Frauen und Männern („gender pay gap“) mit verschiedenen Dekompositionsverfahren zeigt darüber hinaus, dass die Geschlechtstypik des ausgeübten Berufes für Nicht-Führungskräfte eine bedeutsame Erklärungsgröße für den „gender pay gap“ darstellt. Für Führungskräfte sind solche Effekte nicht nachweisbar.
