A recent study from Oxford University shows that there are differences between how women and men perceive the university culture. Moreover, these differences are more noticeable in the social sciences than in medicine. The authors suggest that a gender equality award or certification system linked to funding incentives could be the key to creating a more supportive and inclusive culture for all faculty and staff. The study shows that while the organisational culture influences research productivity, career advancement and career satisfaction of all faculty and staff, the dominant university culture disadvantages women. Researchers at Oxford University and the National Initiative on Gender, Culture and Leadership in Medicine: C-Change at Brandeis University surveyed 4997 of faculty and staff members in the medical and social sciences at Oxford University to investigate the organizational culture and look for ways to improve it. The C-Change survey included 12 dimensions of university culture, spanning from career advancement and institutional support, to gender and ethnic equity. The authors used a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. They were able to show that the implementation of Athena SWAN gender equality action plans linked to funding incentives contributes to positive culture change towards a more supportive and inclusive culture. Not only for women, but for all faculty and staff.
