Résumé :

La violenza contro le donne è una delle forme di ineguaglianza più oppressive che si espande a livello globale. L'elaborato analizzerà in primo luogo la violenza come fenomeno sociale, approfondendo le origini e lo sviluppo della stessa e della violenza basata sul genere. Si concentrerà, in seguito, sulla violenza commessa nel luogo di lavoro e le discriminazioni, in particolare le molestie sessuali e la segregazione occupazionale, sia orizzontale che verticale. Particolare attenzione verrà posta sul fenomeno del soffitto di cristallo, l'indice utilizzato come unità di misura e le conseguenze

Résumé :

<p>Between 2004 and 2014, healthcare jobs were among the fastest growing occupations in the U.S, adding 4.3 million positions and expected job growth of 30.3%. The majority of the healthcare workforce is overwhelmingly dominated by women. However, when it comes to leadership positions, especially executive and board levels, females are considerably underrepresented. Interestingly, though, women, more than men, are reported to demonstrate traits such as transparency, compassion, and support for teamwork, which would benefit organizations as they venture into the future of healthcare delivery.

The research makes an original contribution to social psychology theory related to the success of academic women in higher education.

Women in the local church need proper nurturing, guidance and or support in the articulation or the manifestation of their ministerial visions and goals.

Women’s participation in politics has increased significantly over the past 100 years. Indeed, in 1890 women did not have the right to vote anywhere in the world, while nowadays 81% of the world's countries have at least 10% of women in their Parliaments. Although women have made remarkable inroads into traditionally male occupations (and higher education), the political sphere remains an area where women still have far to go (Paxton and Hughes, 2017). In other words, politics remains an area dominated by men. In an effort to change this trend, many countries have adopted gender quotas mecha

Agentic women continue to be penalized for success in male-dominated industries, resulting in gender discrimination and differing opportunity structures (Foschi, 2000). The purpose of the proposed study is to see how an employee’s gender and status in male-dominated corporate settings influence participants’ perceptions of competency, liking, and consequences after the employee makes a mistake.

Approximately 132 participants will be recruited from high technology companies, and will read a vignett
