Abstract: The predilection to use gender as a basis for pay and organization hierarchical level decisions has emerged as a significant topic in management literature. Related issues are the theories of information dependency and gender segregation. This article discusses the theoretical foundations of information dependency theory confirming the importance of subordinates' control of resources, including performance capabilities. Insights gained through this study may provide business professionals in the “petite moyen” with the ability to recognize and avoid the use of gender as a basis for pay and hierarchical level within both the organizational and managerial contexts.
