A descriptive research design was used to explore comparative patterns of promotion for female and male managers in Malawi's health care services. It was also attempted to identify factors perceived by managers themselves as being significant for enhancing or impeding promotions. A total of 150 respondents from middle and top management levels in Malawi's health care services completed questionnaires. Results indicated that females were under represented at middle and top management levels; but over represented at lower (operational) management levels. Both males and females experienced management promotion problems with unclear, inconsistent and unfair administration of promotion policies. Malawi's promotion policy within the health care sector should be revised and its implementation monitored to ensure equal promotion opportunities at all management levels, irrespective of gender.
采用描述性研究设计来探究马拉维医疗服务领域女性和男性管理者的晋升比较模式。研究还试图确定管理者自身认为对晋升有促进或阻碍作用的因素。马拉维医疗服务领域中高层管理的150名受访者完成了问卷调查。结果表明，女性在中高层管理中所占比例较低；但在较低（运营）管理层面所占比例过高。男性和女性在晋升方面都遇到了问题，晋升政策的管理不明确、不一致且不公平。马拉维医疗部门的晋升政策应予以修订，并对其实施情况进行监督，以确保各级管理层都有平等的晋升机会，不论性别。
