Several respondents of this study believed that learning how to conduct research is key, and many wished to learn more in depth. Therefore, female practitioners must be able to evaluate the results of communication programs and then educate management about public relations’ contributions. The true test of women’s success in public relations lies in the results they can demonstrate. Part of this is letting others in the organization know about their good work. If female practitioners can demonstrate results, they will be accepted by management–regardless of gender.

This theme is consistent with Dozier’s (1988) argument that female practitioners could gain the power they need to break through the glass ceiling by conducting scanning research –social scientific methods practitioners use “to find out ‘what’s going on’ among internal and external publics (p. 6). According to him, environmental scanning is essential not only for females, but for all practitioners because it gives them control over information, which is a scarce resource and is useful to the dominant coalition of an [organization.]

DEVELOPING COMPETENCE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS

Many of the women in our study said that equity for female practitioners will happen only if women develop the skills and knowledge needed to advance in public relations. They believed that being highly skilled helps keep doors open to women. Since information is power, women must constantly strive to learn more and refuse to be intimidated.

Several research participants believed that learning how to conduct research is key. That is, female practitioners need to evaluate the results of communication programs and then educate management about public relations’s [sic] contributions. One agency owner said that the “true test” of women’s success in public relations will be in the results women can show. Part of this is letting others know about good work. One participant in a focus group said that public relations is being tested. If female practitioners can show results, women will be accepted by management—gender notwithstanding.

Echoing this theme, Dozier (1988) argued that female practitioners could gain the power they need to break through the glass ceiling by conducting scanning research—social scientific methods practitioners use “to find out ‘what’s going on’ among internal and external publics” (p. 6). He explained that environmental scanning is important for all practitioners because it gives them control over a scarce resource (information) that is useful to the dominant coalition of an organization.
