Relaciones industriales. Relaciones de trabajo. Relaciones humanas Resumen: Over the last decade workforce diversity has attracted much scientific attention. Given the shortage of literature on issues related to homosexual, bisexual and transgender employees, compared to other facets of workforce diversity, this book opens up new perspectives on this issue. Emphasis is placed on the equal consideration of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues. Thus the predominance of lesbian and gay issues in LGBT research (and practice), will be contrasted by an explicit consideration of the unique experiences, stressors and related needs of bisexual and transgender employees. Contributions provide deeper insights into the differing experiences the whole spectrum of LGBT employees make in the workplace in different national and occupational contexts. Furthermore, the collection offers contextualized insights for evaluating and conceptualizing organizational initiatives aiming at a higher level of inclusion for LGBT employees Nota de contenido: Intersexuality and Trans-Identities Within the Diversity Management Discourse -- Understanding the Transgender Workplace -- The Challenges of Coming Out as a Female-to-Male Transgender in the Indian Organizational Space -- A Systematic Literature Review on Trans* Careers and Workplace Experiences -- Transgenderism, Sex Reassignment Surgery and Employees' Job Satisfaction -- Female-to-Male (FtM) Transgender Employees in Australia -- On the Necessity of Including Gender in Spain's List of Prohibited Bases of Discrimination -- Transgender Rights in Canada -- Visibility and the Workplace Experiences of Trans Persons in the US -- Transgender Individuals in Asian Islamic Countries: Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Malaysia -- Religious Workplaces -- Discrimination and Marginalization of LGBT Workers in Thailand -- Uncovering the Experiences of LGBT Employees in Turkey -- LGBT Employees in the Hungarian Labor Market -- Gay Men and Male-to-Female Transgender Persons in Chile -- Experiences of LGBT Microaggressions in the Workplace -- Experiences of Non-Heterosexual and Trans Youth on Career Choice and in the Workplace -- Passing in Corporate India..

McNeely Editorial: Cham : Springer International Publishing Fecha de publicación: 2015 Otro editor: Imprint: Springer Número de páginas: XVI, 344 p. 75 illus., 67 illus. in color Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-3-319-08629-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Management Industrial management Globalization Markets Social policy Sociology Sex (Psychology) Gender expression identity and Innovation/Technology Policy Emerging Markets/Globalization Studies Clasificación: 658 Empresas. Organización de empresas Resumen: Many countries have implemented policies to increase the number and quality of scientific researchers as a means to foster innovation and spur economic development and progress. To that end, grounded in a view of women as a rich, yet underutilized knowledge and labor resource, a great deal of recent attention has focused on encouraging women to pursue education and careers in science — even in countries with longstanding dominant patriarchal regimes. Yet, overall, science remains an area in which girls and women are persistently disadvantaged. This book addresses that situation. It bridges the gap between individual- and societal-level perspectives on women in science in a search for systematic solutions to the challenge of building an inclusive and productive scientific workforce capable of creating the innovation needed for economic growth and societal wellbeing. This book examines both the role of gender as an organizing principle of social life and the relative position of women scientists within national and international labor markets. Weaving together and engaging research on globalization, the social organization of science, and gendered societal relations as key social forces, this book addresses critical issues affecting women’s contributions and participation in science. Also, while considering women’s representation in science as a whole, examinations of women in the chemical sciences, computing, mathematics, and statistics are offered as examples to provide insights into how differing disciplinary cultures, functional tasks, and socio-historical conditions can affect the advancement of women in science relative to important variations in educational and occupational realities. Edited by three social scientists recognized for their expertise in science and technology policy, education, workforce participation, and stratification, this book includes contributions from an intellectually diverse group of international scholars and analysts, and features compelling cases and initiatives from around the world, with implications for research, industry practice, education, and policy development Nota de contenido: Foreword -- Ch 1 Introduction -- Part I Cross Cultural Foundational Issues -- Ch 2 Women’s Enrollments in STEM in Higher Education -- Ch 3 Gender, Science and Occupational Sex Segregation -- Ch 4 Building Knowledge to Narrow the Gender Divide -- Part II Exemplar Disciplines -- Ch 5 Data on Women in the Scientific Workforce -- Ch 6 Women in Mathematics -- Ch 7 Women in Statistics -- Ch 8 Computer Science -- Part III Policies and Programs -- Ch 9 Promising Programs—A Cross-National Exploration of Women in Science, Education and Workforce -- Ch 10 Advancing Women in Science: Policies for Progress -- Postscript En línea: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-08629-3 Link: https://biblioteca.cunef.edu/gestion/catalogo/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=35436 Advancing Women in Science : An International Perspective [documento electrónico] / SpringerLink (Online service) ; Willie Jr. Pearson ; Lisa M.

Título : Gender and Sexuality in Male-Dominated Occupations : Women Working in Construction and Transport Tipo de documento: documento electrónico Autores: Tessa Wright ; SpringerLink (Online service) Editorial: London : Palgrave Macmillan UK Fecha de publicación: 2016 Otro editor: Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan Número de páginas: XV, 287 p Il.: online resource ISBN/ISSN/DL: 978-1-137-50136-3 Idioma : Inglés (eng) Palabras clave: Business Organization Planning Industries Sociology Industrial sociology Sex (Psychology) Gender expression identity and Management Studies of Work Clasificación: 316.334.22 Sociología del trabajo Resumen: Examining women's diverse experiences of male-dominated work, this ground-breaking book explores what sexuality and gender means to women working in the construction and transport industries. Using accounts from heterosexual women and lesbians working in professional, manual and operational roles, Gender and Sexuality in Male-Dominated Occupations adopts an intersectional approach to examine advantage and disadvantage on the basis of gender, sexuality and occupational class in these sectors. Drawing on interviews and focus groups, the author examines why women choose to enter male-dominated industries, their experiences of workplace relations, their use of women's support networks and trade unions, and the interface between home and work lives. Presenting international and UK-based examples of effective interventions to increase women's participation in male-dominated work, this important book highlights the need for political will to tackle women's underrepresentation, and suggests directions for the future.

Organización de empresas Resumen: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) produced a 2011 report on women in agriculture with a clear and urgent message: agriculture underperforms because half of all farmers—women—lack equal access to the resources and opportunities they need to be more productive. This book builds on the report’s conclusions by providing, for a non-specialist audience, a compendium of what we know now about gender gaps in agriculture. The authors explore linkages among gender, assets, and agricultural development projects. They examine the current state of land tenure; women’s access to markets, financial services, and rural employment; and gender differences in social capital and in vulnerability to poor nutrition and health. The book also looks at trends in agricultural research, development, and extension systems and in women’s participation in research. The opening section summarizes the main messages of the 2011 FAO report and reviews how gender has been conceptualized in agriculture and how these concepts have changed in the past three decades. Topics covered include how demographic conditions such as household structure, age, and migration have affected gender relations. Part 2 of the book focuses on data and methods for understanding gender issues in agriculture. The authors look at changing institutional approaches to addressing gender and assess past and present methods for effectively collecting and analyzing data on gender roles and relations in agriculture. Part 3 gathers background studies that document gender gaps in assets and key agricultural inputs. Part 4 looks beyond the farm to observe and analyze gender roles in markets and value chains. Part 5 proposes ways that agricultural research, development, and extension systems can be made more responsive to the needs of both male and female farmers. The research findings collected here provide, in non-technical language, an overview of a pressing problem in agricultural development—the disadvantages and inequities that burden women farmers—as well as ways to understand and address this problem.
