Handbook of Gender, Work and Organization - Группа авторов

Handbook of Gender, Work and Organization - это книга-справочник, которая представляет собой обширный обзор современного состояния исследований в области гендера, работы и организаций на рубеже 21 века. Авторы книги представлены восьмью странами и многими дисциплинами, включая управление, социологию, политическую науку и гендерные исследования. В книге представлены как обзоры и эмпирические исследования, так и новые идеи и вызовы для дальнейших исследований. Главы организованы в пять разделов: История и философия, Организация работы и гендеризированная организация, Воплощение, Глобализация и Разнообразие. Авторы книги описывают теоретические и концептуальные разработки на переднем крае исследований, а также методы исследования гендера, работы и организации, которые приводятся на примере нескольких глав. Книга также охватывает усилия по достижению большей гендерной равености на рабочем месте, включая как прошлые успехи, так и неудачи. В книге также представлены военные организации, которые являются одними из наиболее сложных в изменении отношения к гендеру (что приводит к тому, что женщины остаются на периферии, даже когда официальные политики и цели требуют их полного участия). Особое внимание уделяется роли тела/воплощения в нескольких главах, обращая внимание как на то, как организации дисциплинируют тела, так и на то, как члены организаций используют свои тела для достижения преимущества. В нескольких главах также уделяется внимание сексуальности в/и организациях, включая сексуальное домогательство, политики по ликвидации предубеждений и вероятность того, что будущие исследования будут уделять больше внимания присутствию и роли тела в работе и организациях. Многие главы также рассматривают "усилия по изменению", которые предпринимаются отдельными лицами, группами и организациями, включая транснациональные организации, такие как Европейский союз, Организация Объединенных Наций и так далее. Книга будет полезна как преподавателям и студентам в этой области, так и политикам и практикам, которые должны обдумать последние исследования в области гендера на рабочем месте и в организациях.

This work of reference presents a notably complete, detailed, and extensive survey of the fields of gender, employment, and organization during the second decade of 21 st century. This is accomplished by eight national contributors from across disciplinary lines including management, social science, political science and gender study. Each chapter derives from leading scholars, provides considerations and empirical evidence, new perspectives, and debates for future exploration. These chapters are arranged into five parts: History and Philosophy; Managing Work and Gendered Organizations; Embodied Experience; Globalization and Diversity. The essays explore theoretical directions at the forefront of the project field by the writers themselves. They also assess and reflect on methodologies used to conduct research on gender employment and organization as well too utilized extensively in Chapter Discussions. Protection of greater gender balance in employment situations are addressed in almost every essay on themes of previous success and failure. Military and quasi-military organizations differentiate itself by proving difficult to accommodate gender disparities whereas women become marginalized despite official policies relying upon their full participation. The importance of body and embodiment are emphasized often, describing not only the limits of organizations using bodies but also from how employees manipulate their bodies for their own gain. Notably, the roles of sex in employees and organizations—including issues like sexual harassment and strategies to eliminate bias—as well as likelihood of future focus on the body's presence in workplace contexts is addressed. Additionally, many chapters examine "change initiatives" taken by individuals, teams, organizations, military alliances like the European Union and United Nations. Additionally to do academic work within this center, it encourages new thinking for broader audiences including policy analysts and practitioners who might want to solidify latest creative approaches related to considering employment and organizational alliances in a gendered context.

This work of reference represents a remarkably complete, detailed and extensive review of the field of gender, work and organization in the second decade of the 21st century. Its authors represent eight countries and many disciplines including management, sociology, political science, and gender studies. The chapters, by top scholars in their areas of expertise, offer both reviews and empirical findings, and insights and challenges for further work. The chapters are organized in five sections: Histories and Philosophies; Organizing Work and the Gendered Organization; Embodiment; Globalization; and Diversity. Theoretical and conceptual developments at the cutting edge of the field are explicated and illustrated by the handbook’s authors. Methods for conducting research into gender, work and organization are reviewed and assessed as well as illustrated in the work of several chapters. Efforts to produce greater gender equality in the workplace are covered in nearly every chapter, in terms of past successes and failures. Military organizations are presented as one of the difficult to change in regards to gender (with the result that women are marginalized in practice even when official policies and goals require their full inclusion). The role of the body/embodiment is emphasized in several chapters, with attention both to how organizations discipline bodies and how organizational members use their bodies to gain advantage. Particular attention is paid to sexuality in/and organizations, including sexual harassment, policies to alleviate bias, and the likelihood that future work will pay more attention to the body’s presence and role in work and organizations. Many chapters also address “change efforts” that have been employed by individuals, groups, and organizations, including transnational ones such as the European Union, the United Nations, and so on. In addition to its value for teachers and students within this field, it also offers insights that would be of value to policy makers and practitioners who need to reflect on the latest thinking relating to gender at work and in organizations.
