Abstract:

The growing complexity in working arrangements has made it difficult to target employment legislation effectively. Utilisation of the existing provisions of Community law requires a reorientation of the traditional conceptualisation of gender relations. This is possible through the application of broad principles, as provided for by the Treaty and the general scheme of Community law, to specific circumstances. The Court of Justice occupies a unique institutional position in this respect as the only authority capable of undertaking such a task coherently and consistently. This thesis considers

Abstract:

The aim of the research is to test whether an attribution approach from social/organisational psychology can illuminate the problem of women's unequal status in managemenL It has been suggested that within organisations, the process of causal attribution devalues women's performance in two ways. First, women managers compared to men may interpret their own performance less favourably, attributing its cause in ways likely to sustain lower self-confidence and expectations of success. Second, gender may affect superiors' perceptions of the reasons subordinates perform well or badly, tending to be

Different employees have different needs within the work environment and in their social relations.
