Sažetak
This paper analyses the literature on women and networking between
1985 and 2021 to explore what is known about networking and its
effect on women, and what new research is needed on networking. The
authors analysed a total of 78 articles published in women and gender
studies journals. Thematic analysis and three-tier coding have been
used in analysing available articles. Findings reveal that organisational
cultures did not change during the four decades of research as boys’
clubs still exist and take men ahead much more than women’s networks
take women ahead. Old boys’ clubs remain persistent and more powerful
than women’s networks and women do not report benefits from
networking even when they engage with this, often-seen, masculine
practice. Women also report exclusion from important professional
networks and this is a theme that consistently runs through research,
and additionally, many women cannot join networks due to the social
expectation that women will look after families.
