Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Organizational changes occurred at the individual level through the development of personal relationships. Organizational changes were manifested in several ways. Organizational changes occurred through personal interaction and demonstrated ability. Organizational changes were seen as reactions to women in nontraditional jobs became more routine and less of a major, out of the ordinary event. The study's participants described how they felt the Army had changed during their time in the organization. Organizational changes were implied by the actions of the male leaders who made decisions that promoted the integration and advancement of women in the organization. Organizational changes were seen in the different approaches to the debate concerning women in the combat arms.
