Download or read book Dark Sides of Organizational Life written by H. Cenk Sözen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the darkest side of organizations may have a potential to change our previous assumptions about business life. Scholars both in management and organizational research fields have shown interest in the "bright" side of behavioral life and have looked for the ways to create a positive organizational climate and assumed a positive relation between happiness of employees and productivity. These main assumptions of the Human Relations School have dominated the scientific inquiry on organizational behavior. However, "the dark side of organizational life" may have more explanatory power than "the bright side". Hostility, jealousy, envy, rivalry, gossip, problematic personalities, dislike, revenge, and social exclusion are the realities of business life. A manager may devote most of their time to cope with conflicts, deviant behaviors, ambitious individuals, gossips, and dysfunctional rivalry among employees. It is evident that negative events and interactions among employees cost more time and energy for a manager than the positive side of organizational life. This edited collection specifically focuses on these issues and will be of interest to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of management, organizational studies and behavior, sociology, social psychology, and human resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the gender gap persists and how we can close it. For years women have made up the majority of college-educated workers in the United States. In 2019, the gap between the percentage of women and the percentage of men in the workforce was the smallest on record. But despite these statistics, women remain underrepresented in positions of power and status, with the highest-paying jobs the most gender-imbalanced. Even in fields where the numbers of men and women are roughly equal, or where women actually make up the majority, leadership ranks remain male-dominated. The persistence of these inequalities begs the question: Why haven't we made more progress? In Glass Half-Broken, Colleen Ammerman and Boris Groysberg reveal the pervasive organizational obstacles and managerial actions—limited opportunities for development, lack of role models and sponsors, and bias in hiring, compensation, and promotion—that create gender imbalances. Bringing to light the key findings from the latest research in psychology, sociology, organizational behavior, and economics, Ammerman and Groysberg show that throughout their careers—from entry-level to mid-level to senior-level positions—women get pushed out of the leadership pipeline, each time for different reasons. Presenting organizational and managerial strategies designed to weaken and ultimately break down these barriers, Glass Half-Broken is the authoritative resource that managers and leaders at all levels can use to finally shatter the glass ceiling.

Book excerpt: The "glass ceiling" refers to those barriers that have prevented the advancement of women and minorities into the top levels of executive management in major U.S. corporations. In 1991, the U.S. Department of Labor released a report describing the Glass Ceiling Initiative. This document reports on what occurred in the year following the beginning of this initiative. The overall message is that while progress has been made in the workplace by minorities and women, the commitment and actions that led to the progress must be maintained and enhanced if the goal of full and equal employment opportunity is to be realized. The report discusses recent research data on workplace advancement, which show mixed results. Also noted is Department of Labor data on federal contractors, which show that minorities and women have made progress over the past 10 years. Much of the report concerns the progress of those companies the Department of Labor has monitored through Glass Ceiling Initiative pilot reviews and compliance reviews. These data are presented in anecdotal fashion highlighting a number of examples which show that glass ceiling barriers can be removed. The report cites the following barriers to career advancement and notes that they warrant greater attention: recruitment practices, lack of opportunity to contribute and participate in corporate development practices, general lack of corporate ownership of equal opportunity principles, performance measures, and mobility. The following methods are cited as successful approaches to removing glass ceiling barriers: tracking women and minorities with advancement potential, ensuring access and visibility, ensuring a bias-free workplace, and continued placement of women and minorities into entry-level professional positions.
