The objective of this research is to explore the occurrence of the queen bee phenomenon characteristics in a French university by observing in particular whether this effect manifests itself in different forms between the professors-researchers and non-professors staff of different statutory categories. Twenty-two individual semi-structured interviews, conducted with male and female personnel, highlight the prevalence of queen bee characteristic traits among high status female professors, much more than among non-professors women. The results of this exploratory study are discussed in the context of gender-based discrimination likely to impact the women careers in university.
