Because chance structures in working life are gendered, to describe the positions in paid-work life by the index or categories common to men and women has been seen problematic. Consequently, most of studies about status-attainment process analyzed men and women separately. Therefore one serious problem occurred: the invisualization of the gender-relation effects on status-attainment process and status allocation system. This article adopts ‘decision making capacity’ as an index of the position in paid-work area common to men and women and examines gender inequality in status allocation system. The main part of this study involves the testing for five hypotheses that attempt to explain the distribution of decision making capacity. The first hypothesis, which focuses on the occupational characteristics, received limited support. Being supervisory occupation has positive significant effect. The second hypothesis, which focuses on position within organization, is strongly supported. Especially organizational title has strong positive significant effect on decision making capacity. The third hypothesis, which focuses on the degree of organizational specialization, is supported. Higher organizational specialization has negative significant effect, although its effect is insignificant when we use women samples only. The forth hypothesis, which focuses on respondents’ ascription such as human capital and family responsibility, received very limited support. Among women employee education has positive significant effect on decision making capacity. But among men employee or total employee, its explanatory power is lost. The fifth hypothesis, which focuses on gender inequality, is supported. This study adopts two aspects of grasp of ‘gender inequality’: ‘existence of predominance of men/women’ and ‘existence of certain relationship in which “sex” has any sense’. The test results showed the existence of latter aspects of gender inequality.
