Abstract
The number of “traditional” families, those with an employed father and a not-employed mother, has been decreasing. This article presents an expanded typology of family structure that includes spousal employment status. The effects on managerial career paths of a “post-traditional” family structure, in which both parents are employed, is explored. The results from a survey of M.B.A. degree holders show such a family structure to be related to income and career satisfaction for men and women. The findings suggest that family structure should receive greater focus from both researchers and organizations.
