This timely book offers a review of the current research and
literature around creating a healthy organisation. Providing an
informative guide of the field, it presents cutting-edge
international research, which addresses the key areas of
consideration for organisations as well as the areas in which they
need to challenge organisational perceptions and innovate. Chapters
present both theoretical and practical guidance, covering important
topics such as diversity, health and safety, organisational
perceptions and learning, and explore the psychological advantages
and unique challenges of developing a healthy organisation.
Explaining how to use evidence-based practice to develop, implement
and evaluate change at different scales and paces, the authors
focus on the organisation, the individual, or a combination of
both. It highlights the importance of context and process in
interventions and the value of locally tailored interventions for
the sustainability of practice. This will be a helpful read for
management scholars wishing to gain a better understanding of the
nature of healthy organisations. Written in a transferable style,
it would also assist government officials, policy makers and
management of any sector in both developed and emerging economies.
This unique Research Handbook covers a wide range of issues that
affect the careers of those in diverse groups: age, appearance,
disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and transgender. This
work includes cross-disciplinary contributions from over 50
international academics, researchers, policy-makers, managers and
psychologists, who review current thinking, practices, initiatives
and developments within diversity and careers research on an
international scale. They also consider the implication of
diversity legislation for organizations and the individual,
providing an insight into the future direction of research and
practice. Unlike other research in the field, this work presents
wide-ranging and holistic coverage of diverse groups in addition to
considering the implication of individuals who appear in multiple
categories. Students, academics and researchers in the fields of
human resources, management and employment as well as those whose
study encompasses diversity, development and equality will find
this Research Handbook to be a useful and insightful read.

This Handbook presents the current research, practice and future
directions in the field of gendered careers in management. Expert
contributors discuss pertinent issues impacting three key areas of
career development:- The beginning of gendered managerial careers
(Getting In) such as education and recruitment - The progress of
gendered managerial careers (Getting On) such as career phases and
succession planning - What comes after gendered managerial careers
(Getting Out) such as recalibration of career patterns and
retirement. The theoretical and practical insights presented are
transferable across all management career sectors and offer an
original perspective into gendered employment within business and
management. Students, researchers and policy makers alike will find
this Handbook to be a fundamental reference point for gaining
insight into current practice and theory encompassing gendered
employment in management. Contributors: S.M. Adams, M.D. Agars,

With update-to-date reviews of the current research and literature
on women's entrepreneurship, this is the first book of its kind to
address entrepreneurial coaching for women as a development tool.
The authors provide a theoretical, conceptual and applied
perspective to explore the distinctive challenges facing this
group, before discussing the implementations and outcomes of
coaching programmes in an entrepreneurial setting. They conclude
with strategies for future research and progress. Students and
scholars of business management, entrepreneurship and gender
studies will find the unique perspectives to be of interest. This
book will also be useful as a tool for small business service
providers, women entrepreneurs, policy makers and government
officials.
The number of women entering small business ownership has increased
significantly across the world in recent years. These women make a
crucial contribution to the economic growth and development of
local, national and global economies. Yet, despite their increasing
numbers, they have received comparatively little attention from the
academic community. This comprehensive and coherent book redresses
the balance and provides an up-to-date, theoretical review of this
important area of study. A distinguished group of international
contributors presents the latest work from the USA, the UK,
Australia, Canada, India and Singapore, which explores practical
initiatives and strategies related to the experiences of women
entering small business entrepreneurship. Providing a unique
balance between theory and practice, this book will be welcomed by
scholars and students of women in management and entrepreneurship
as well as policymakers and small business service providers.

Although there is an expanding body of literature on the
characteristics, aspirations, motivations, challenges and barriers
of mainstream entrepreneurs, relatively little is known about
whether these findings can be applied to the entrepreneurial
activities of minority groups. This book addresses this short-fall
and presents an international review of the characteristics,
motivations and obstacles of eight minority groups: younger; older;
women; ethnic; immigrant; lesbian, gay and bisexual; disabled; and
indigenous entrepreneurs. The expert contributors discover enormous
variability between these minority groups, such as in the
motivators that either 'pushed' or 'pulled' individuals into an
entrepreneurial venture, as well as diverse attitudes toward
'success': some groups wanted to achieve financial security -
others wanted to enhance their sense of self-worth, or to change
existing social and economic circumstances. However, some striking
similarities were noted: initial disadvantage often created a
powerful impetus to starting up a business venture, and accessing
finance was extremely difficult for many. Including comparative
cross cultural data and case studies on the various minority groups
reviewed, both post graduate students and undergraduate students
studying entrepreneurship will find this book an invaluable
resource. In addition, it will also be of interest to policy
makers, governments and all those who wish to comprehend the nature
of small business ownership for a wide range of minority business
owners.

This scholarly handbook covers all aspects of people with
disabilities entering the workplace, including the legal aspects,
transitions, types, and levels of employments, the impact of
different disabilities, and the consideration of the intersection
of disability with other identities such as gender and ethnicity.
Comprehensive in scope, chapters look beyond organizational
strategies that accommodate an employee's disability and use case
studies to highlight important issues and the individual's
perspective. The handbook concludes with a reflection on the work
included in the book, what was not included and why, and makes
recommendations for future disability research. Marking a major
contribution to the study of workplace diversity and bringing
together academics from various disciplines and global regions,
this handbook covers a truly broad and diverse mix of approaches,
theories, and models.
