Substantial ambiguity surrounds the effect of internal labour markets on the employment position of women. Drawing on data from a large-scale survey of bank employees in Australia and Britain, this paper examines the extent of gender differ ences in career progression within two internal labour markets. The results indicate that tbe promotional experiences of female and male employees were very different. Altbough women were able to achieve promotion, they had to conform to more stringent, performance-based criteria than did their male counterparts. Indeed, what appeared to be important for male career progression was the degree of attachment to the organisation. Finally, the paper bigbligbts a range of structural as well as proce dural impediments to promotion for female employees within the two organisations.
