Popis:	This paper demonstrates that strong isomorphic forces contribute to the ongoing female underrepresentation in project-based organisations in Australia. Through a qualitative study of career experiences of women project managers, the underlying structural barriers to their career progression in construction and property development organisations are examined. The barriers appear as unique to project-based organisations and include project work practices; lack of career paths for project managers and limited organisational commitment to gender diversity. The Australian project-based organisations must purposely foster their female project managers to overcome isomorphism and thereby bolster their productivity and stay competitive on a global scale now and into the future.
