This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making Globalization Work for Women explores the potential for trade unions to defend the socioeconomic rights of women in a global context. Looking at labor policies and interviews with people in unions and nongovernmental organizations, the essays diagnose the problems faced by women workers across the world and assess the progress that unions in various countries have made in responding to those problems. Some concerns addressed include the masculine culture of many unions and the challenges of female leadership within them, laissez-faire governance, and the limited success of organizations working on these issues globally. Making Globalization Work for Women brings together in a synthetic and fruitful conversation the work and ideas of feminists, unions, NGOs, and other human rights workers.

Download or read book Labor Union Women and Leadership written by Jacqueline Daugherty and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Female union members are nearly fifty percent of the total membership of organized labor, and yet female union members continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions creating a leadership gender gap. The problem of a leadership gender gap is longstanding and is demonstrated in all levels of organized labor, from local to international unions, as well as in the labor federations. The problem stems from deep-rooted barriers that women face with leadership in labor organizations and impacts female union member0́9s voices and issues being heard at the bargaining table, and can therefore negatively affect women0́9s wages, hours and working conditions that are collectively bargained with employers by the elected union leadership. The purpose of this study was to determine what instructional design strategies used in labor education can increase confidence and leadership skill sets of female union members and empower them into leadership roles. Using an instructional design framework that incorporated the ARCS Motivational Design Model and Design Thinking, an asynchronous, online non-credit short course was created to use as the base for the study. The core weekly topics for the course were drawn from the study0́9s literature review, as well as feedback from a participatory group of female union leaders. The initial course prototype was offered in October 2020 and March 2021. Regarding general instructional design strategies, the participants were comfortable with online course formats and prefer a combination of weekly activities and the incorporation of hands-on and/or real-world material. An instructional intervention that focused on role models and self-efficacy was conducted during the third week of the course. The focus on role models proved to be highly valued by the participants. The participants cited that the activity was engaging and broadened their understanding of role models and introduced them to female labor leaders that they had not previously known of. The data collected from the participants recorded that role models demonstrated to the participants how to overcome leadership barriers and inspired them to the fact that they, too, can make positive change in leadership roles. The participants also indicated personal and/or professional growth with their understanding of women and leadership skill development. The participants cited a host of course activities that positively affected their leadership skill sets, such as the role model activities, weekly readings and videos and discussion boards. While the role model activities stood out as having a positive effect on the participants confidence and leadership skills, it is worth noting that the participants cited several different course activities that they participated in that leads to the assumption that leadership courses need to be well-rounded and holistic to fit the diverse audience experiences and skill sets.

Download or read book Leadership Gender and Organization written by Mollie Painter-Morland and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text provides perspectives on the way in which gender plays a role in leadership dynamics and ethics within organizations. It seeks to offer new theoretical models for thinking about leadership and organizational influence. Most studies of women’s leadership draw on an ethics of care as characteristic of the way women lead, but as such, it tends towards essentialist gender stereotypes and does little to explain the complex systemic variables that influence the functioning of women within organizations. This book moves beyond the canon in exploring alternative paradigms for thinking about leadership and gender in organizations. The authors draw on the literature available in systems thinking, systemic leadership, and gender theory to offer alternative perspectives for thinking about the ways women lead. The book offers invaluable theoretical perspectives and insightful narratives to graduate students and researchers who are interested in women’s leadership, gender and organization. It will be of interest to all women in leadership positions, but specifically to those interested in understanding the systemic nature of leadership and their role within it.
