Focusing on the individual woman and her choices, decisions, behaviors and problems, Gutek and Nieva cover such topics as career choice processes, job selection and organizational access, leadership, job satisfaction and performance appraisal. They emphasize such social psychological concepts as attribution biases, sex role stereotyping, expectations for sex role congruent behavior and impression formation.
With this clearly-written, thorough, and well-organized book, Gutek has provided a how-tomanual for managers and others who want to eliminate sexual harassment in the workplace. --Choice
Meticulously researched and authored by two respected scholars, this book addresses the problems and benefits associated with an increasingly diverse global workforce.
Despite over twenty years of discussion and study, sexual harassment remains a significant problem in the workplace. Current research focusing on organizational policy and women's career development often ignores the reality of male dominance, prevalent in areas such as the military, the police, and firefighting-occupations that see not only more frequent but also more severe harassment, even sexual assault. Meanwhile, new evidence points to the fact that men are largely responsible not only for the harassment of women but for most harassment of other men as well. This landmark collection of original essays investigates the links between male dominance and sexual harassment in light of new r...
Research addressing sex and gender in work will be of interest to psychologists, sociologists, managers, and economics. This book brings together the traditional management perspectives with the recent feminist perspective.
The subject of women's career development is becoming increasingly important as the proportion of women in the US work-force approaches 50%. Women behave differently from men in the development of their careers, and are often studied to see how they depart from the male standard. The papers in this volume examine the internal dynamics to women's careers using theories about reference groups, relative deprivation, personality, and role conflict. The book analyses women's career development from different perspectives, examining different groups of women, at different points of time in their career process, in relation to men as well as to other groups of women.
Simultaneously thorough and readable. This book is a must for anybody who needs to be up on the latest thinking on this complex and difficult topic. --Myra Strober, Stanford University Sexual harassment is a problem with a long past, but a short history. About 15 years after journalists and scholars first began writing about it, sexual harassment has become a household word and a topic of concern for employers and employees, and despite very little research funding, there is now a fair amount of data on this topic. Sexual Harassment in the Workplace provides a comprehensive look at what we know about sexual harassment. Editor Margaret S. Stockdale and a multidisciplinary cast of contributing authors have produced a volume that is grounded in theory, research, and practice but is accessible to researchers, advanced students, and practitioners in multiple disciplines. The topic of sexual harassment is one that is extremely timely and relevant for today′s students in women′s studies, organizational studies, and sociology. Sexual Harassment in the Workplace deals with a variety of issues and aspects of sexual harassment that will certainly spark discussion and debate.
With case table.
The gender and racial composition of the American workforce is rapidly changing. As more women in particular enter the workforce and as they enter jobs that have traditionally been dominated by men, issues related to sex and gender in work settings have become increasingly important and complex. Research addressing sex and gender in the workplace is conducted in several distinct disciplines, ranging from psychology and sociology to management and economics. Further, books on gender at work often reflect either a more traditional management perspective or a more recent feminist perspective; rarely however, are these two orientations on women and work acknowledged within the same text. Thus, the principle goal of the book is to communicate a variety of social psychological literatures and research on gender issues that affect work behaviors to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in applied psychology and business.
