Sažetak
In the cultural subsystem the majority of employees today are women. They are mainly employed in libraries, open colleges and cultural centres, museums and museum collections (female asymmetry), while men are mainly employed as professionals in theatre, on radio and television, as cinema operators and in orchestras (male asymmetry). It may be said that men are dominant in commercial and prestigious cultural occupations. The political subsystem today still shows less “permeability” for women than the cultural subsystem. Here the local level is less permeable than high‐ranking prestigious management positions. However, there are differences even at local level: large towns and cities and the most developed county centres are further ahead and, in comparison with the beginning of the 1990s, show significantly more openness. In this lecture I presented two models in relation to the criteria of the advantages and disadvantages to management of women in the cultural subsystem. In the model of management advantages, I identified five elements: socialisation, natural predispositions, the cultural subsystem as a “social niche”, and the possibility of balancing career and family commitments. In the analysis of the model of hindrances to women in management I also identified five elements: experience with patriarchalism, the poor standing of the cultural subsystem, internal and external limitations to management power, the patriarchalism of Croatian society and inadequate cultural policies.
