The objective of the study reported here was to determine whether a set of individual variables predicted both the objective and subjective career success of 156 women and 218 men managers in the Quebec public service. Hierarchical regressions performed separately for each gender revealed that few variables predicted both dimensions of success. Human capital was found to be the most important predictor of objective success, salary and position level, regardless of gender. Men's advancement to senior management positions was facilitated by age, family situation and mentoring, while that of women was facilitated by selfrated interpersonal skills. Age and self-rated interpersonal skills were the only predictors of subjective success, career satisfaction and job satisfaction, for both genders. Ambition negatively predicted career satisfaction for both genders. Findings are discussed from the perspective of current notions of career success in organizations.

Im Verlauf unserer kollaborativen Forschung entwickelten wir den kogenerativen Dialog und den Metalog als Formen, Forschung zu betreiben und zu veröffentlichen. In dem Beitrag stellen wir diese Formen des In-der-Welt-Seins qualitativer Forschung beispielhaft dar, indem wir sie als Prozesse der Textkonstruktion nutzen und zugleich, auf reflexive Weise, für die Darstellung der Produkte dieser Prozesse. Unser Ansatz beinhaltet insoweit auch die Möglichkeit kollektiver Erinnerung, in der die Stimmen der einzelnen Teilnehmenden weiter existieren anstatt in der Stimme eines einzigen kollektiven Autors zu verschwinden.
