Summary of Changes: 

 

  

Chapter 4, coauthored with Laura Graves, considers how individuals and organizations make decisions about establishing employment relationships. For individuals, these decisions entail choosing which job opportunities to pursue and which job offers to accept; for organizations, they entail choosing which applicants to hire. The chapter describes how differences in men’s and women’s job search strategies and reactions to specific jobs and organizations lead them to seek and obtain very different employment opportunities. It also examines sex discrimination in organizations’ hiring decisions, including how and when sex discrimination occurs and who and what, including artificial intelligence (AI) systems, discriminates against whom. Recommendations are offered for reducing sex and gender effects on the employment decisions of individuals and organizations. (132 references, 45% new)

Chapter 5, also coauthored with Laura Graves, considers the effects of sex and gender on behavior in diverse teams. The chapter analyzes differences in how men and women behave and are evaluated in mixed-sex teams. It also examines how the sex composition of the team influences the experiences of male and female team members and the team’s effectiveness. It suggests that mixed-sex teams are susceptible to a host of problems, the severity of which depends on a number of situational factors. It examines the impact of the increased use of virtual teams. The chapter concludes with recommendations for actions that team members and leaders may take to facilitate the functioning of mixed-sex teams. (104 references, 44% new)

Summary of Changes:

 

 Chapter 6 examines the effects of leader preferences and stereotypes in relation to gender stereotypes on how leadership is exhibited in organizations. It reviews how leader stereotypes have historically reflected the beliefs of “think manager—think male” and “think manager—think masculine” as well as recent evidence supporting a “think manager—think androgynous” perspective on leader stereotypes. Sex differences in actual leader behavior and effectiveness are examined to determine whether there is any basis to leader stereotypes. Glass ceilings, or barriers to women’s attainment of top executive positions, are also discussed. Organizations are urged to take actions to ensure that leaders with equivalent credentials regardless of their sex have equal chances to be chosen for leader roles at all levels and succeed in these roles.

Summary of Changes:

 

Chapter 8 considers what it takes for individuals to achieve a sense of work-family balance in their lives. It examines sex differences in how people define and measure personal “success.” It reviews the increasing diversity of family structures. It describes how individuals’ experiences of the work-family interface may be both positive and negative, depending on the extent to which they segment or integrate these two roles. It considers sex differences in how individuals take family factors into account in making important work decisions. It also considers how different types of dual-career couples make decisions about each other’s involvement in work and family activities. The chapter concludes with actions that organizations may take to enhance employees’ work-family balance as well as actions that individuals and couples may take on their own behalf.

Summary of Changes:

Chapters 1 through 8 identify numerous issues related to sex and gender that arise in today’s workplace. Chapter 9 offers solutions to these problems. It argues that organizations gain from promoting nondiscrimination, diversity, and inclusion on the basis of sex as well as other job-irrelevant personal characteristics. It details the laws and regulations with which organizations must comply to avoid legal charges of discrimination as well as the costs of discrimination whether illegal or not. It also presents the business case for promoting diversity (i.e., representation of members of different groups in all jobs and levels) and inclusion (i.e., acceptance of members of all groups in the organizational culture). Numerous actions are recommended for organizations to take in promoting nondiscrimination, diversity, and inclusion. (122 references, 57% new)
