Overview

'The structure of the book does mean chapters or sections can be read in isolation, and discrete themes investigated using the indexes. This is where it succeeds as a reference work for scholars. At the same time there is much readable material for those with a general interest in the subject' - Career Guidance

The Handbook of Gender and Work is a comprehensive synthesis of current literature and knowledge regarding gender in organizations.

A multinational group of leading scholars and researchers from across the disciplines examines the influence of gender (on its own and with other factors) on the conduct of work and the roles and experience of people in the workplace.

While women employees have made some gains, the workplace remains skewed in favor of men globally. In 24 essays, 38 contributors dissect such trends in the contexts of: gender and other identities (race and ethnicity); economics, societal structure, and the changing nature of work; organizational, group, and interpersonal processes; careers and the quality of life; and organizational initiatives. The final section reviews methodological issues in conducting research on the gender- work interface. While there is an index entry for home-based work, there is none for as-yet unpaid housework. Includes a 100-page bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
