Gender and Employment 1600-SZD-SPEC-PZ-ZJ
There are still important and novel arguments to be made about the traditional topics of concern; they also successfully demonstrate therelevance of gender to every aspect of working life and, indeed, the way that work relates to life outside the workplace. Gender is one of the key categories. Many phenomena are presented in terms of men and women. We will focus on degree to which gender inequities exist in organizational domains and practices covering areas such as performance evaluation, compensation, leadership, work-family conflict, and sexual harassment, spanning the employee lifecycle from selection to exiting the organization. During the course we will try to take a critical look at existing beliefs and practices
