Abstract: This longitudinal study examined the interactive effects of sex and gender identity on the career motivation and career success of MBA graduates. Based on discriminant analysis of organizational culture preferences, we derived four gender identity categories. We observed greater success for individuals whose career choices were congruent with their espoused preferences for aggressive versus supportive cultures. We interpret these findings as support for a tournament-like aspect of careers where the combination of effort and ability result in overall success.
