This book looks at the real and perceived differences between
women and men in organizations. Unlike most books on organizations,
it attempts to integrate the theories of feminism and
organizational behavior. In so doing it demonstrates why the issues
of sex and gender are central to understanding organizational
behavior. It finds that despite advances made in recent years,
women and men still work in sex-segregated occupations. Women
workers on the average earn lower pay than men and have fewer
opportunities to acquire power and status. Men workers, on the
other hand, receive less support than women in their efforts to
balance work and family conflicts. Efforts to help women to adapt
to a work environment dominated by masculine values have proved
less than successful because they fail to address the broader
issues. Organizations that hope to maximize their use of all
employees must bring about cultural change through a broad, top
down approach.
