Gender in the Workplace

A Case Study Approach

About this book

This brief collection of cases is designed to help students and employees gain a hands-on understanding of gender issues in the workplace and to provide the necessary tools to handle those issues. Based on actual legal cases, nationally reported incidents, and personal interviews, the case studies in Gender in the Workplace address the range and types of gender issues found in the workplace. Completely revised and updated, this Second Edition provides a more international dimension to reinforce the varying impact of different cultures on gender issues.

New to the Second Edition:

  • Develops critical thinking skills: A new "Critical Issues" section introduces students to cutting-edge thinking and thought-provoking research.
  • Explores gender issues in a wide variety of organizations and in many cultures: Two new cases set outside the United States discuss how cultural settings can change the form of problems and the strategies for addressing them.
  • Offers many new concrete examples of gender issues that arise in the workplace: New cases examine harassment in the military and "glass ceiling" issues as well as an updated look at gender stereotypes, promotion and benefits, career development, balancing work and family, sexual harassment, and much more!

CASE 
OVERVIEW
This 
case 
involves 
potential 
sexual 
discrimination 
in 
the 
form 
of
sexual 
stereotyping 
of 
work. 
Important 
issues 
about 
organizational
culture 
and 
individual 
career 
development 
apply 
to 
the 
situations 
in
the 
case. 
Students 
must 
evaluate 
a 
corporate 
structure 
and 
culture
from 
the 
viewpoint 
of 
a 
female 
job 
applicant, 
first, 
and 
then 
from
the 
viewpoints 
of 
both 
this 
woman 
as 
an 
employee 
and 
one 
of 
her
supervisors. 
Three 
“decision 
points” 
occur 
in 
the 
case, 
and 
students
are 
asked 
to 
respond 
at 
each 
of 
these 
points.

OF 
CASE
“Are 
you 
prepared 
to 
accept 
our

of 
the 
position 
of 
project 
manager,
Ms. 
Andersen?” 
asked 
Mr. 
Green, 
president 
of 
Computing 
Central.
Ms. 
Andersen 
recalled 
her 
hours 
considering 
this 
reduced 
offer,
which 
she 
had 
suspected 
would 
be 
forthcoming, 
in 
contrast 
to 
the 
posi-
tion 
for 
which 
she 
had 
actively 
applied.
