Bridging the Gap Between Men and Women
From the Paper
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."

From the Paper

An overview of cultural differences germane to workplace dynamics will be discussed as well as the effect of such differences on organizational behavior and on the behavior of individual actors within an organization, chiefly in European work situations.
Introduction
The importance of cultural difference to workplace dynamics looms large when it is understood that as of the third-millennial period "the conduct of business is increasingly global.". Major multinational corporations (MNCs), such as IBM, that are based in one country do not necessarily receive the bulk of income and earnings from their home country but from overseas. Meanwhile, the..."

Abstract
This paper examines the differences between the Arab and French cultures in relation to how these differences might affect behavior in the workplace. It provides an overview of cultural differences germane to workplace dynamics and discusses the effect of such differences on organizational behavior and on the behavior of individual actors within an organization, chiefly in European work situations. It evaluates, in the context of a global economy, how a good deal of damage undoubtedly awaits organizations that fail to acknowledge cultural differences.
From the Paper
"In Europe workers are less likely than American counterparts to relocate in anticipation of job opportunities, not least because welfare-state structures, including any of a variety of employment sinecures, increase "the opportunity cost of migration." This may reflect the fact that corporate culture dynamics in Europe have a less forceful effect than national cultures. This is consistent with the view that issues of cultural encounter between and among employees of widely diverse social and national backgrounds in any given corporate culture may be more decisive determinants of individual work experiences than corporate dynamics per se. The workplace, therefore, may become the principal locus of cultural encounter."

Abstract
This paper first studies the history of gender roles with regard to communication and how in the past decades with the openness of society and globalization, it has become more "acceptable" for women to take leading roles in public speaking. The writer also looks at studies which examined the different way school children communicated in co-ed and non co-ed schools. Finally gender differences in the workplace are analyzed.
From the Paper
"In the past, men and women?s roles were strictly enforced by society. Men were expected to behave in a certain way and women were expected to in another way. No one would dare to violate these unwritten rules, or face extreme humiliation. In the case of women acting in a way that was traditionally a man?s behavior, in some cultures, she could face physical punishment for her transgressions. When men violated social graces, often these transgressions were ignored. As women gained more status, these roles began to change, but the differences still existed. They were only expressed in a more subtle way. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of feminism through a review of the works of Glaspell, Atwood, and Gilman. The paper examines how issues of communication in "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell, and Margaret Atwood's "You Fit into Me," demonstrate the inability of women to express themselves and communicate effectively in their society. The analyses of these literary works are then applied in the present context where the ideology of feminism made it possible for communication across gender differences. This paper also argues that feminism is vital in human society in order to generate understanding of the differences and similarities of men and women.
From the Paper
"Feminist ideology is discussed in-depth in Gilman's "The yellow wallpaper," where the protagonist (also the narrator of the story) experiences a downfall towards insanity in order to 'escape' her reality that she is "imprisoned," literally and figuratively, in a patriarchal society. The narrator's perverse preoccupation with the yellow wallpaper in her room illustrates her imprisonment, where she is forced by her husband John to confine herself in a room because she is weak, a physical condition resulting from her too-frequent nervous breakdowns."

Abstract
This paper discusses how over the past few decades, researchers have become increasingly interested in determining job satisfaction. Although there are many issues involved, it is generally accepted that certain factors determine one's job satisfaction. One such factor is earning gap, which refers to the differences between men and women earn in their earnings. The paper reports how according to Statistics Canada (1998), single women earn 93 cents for every dollar that men earn and married women earn about 69 cents for every dollar that men earn. Although more women have entered into the job force after WWII, recent statistics reflect that women still earn less than men do.

An analysis of the problem of gender discrimination in the workplace.

Abstract
This paper discusses gender bias in the workplace and focuses on the distinction made between a man and woman in a working environment on the basis of professionalism, integrity, and respect. This paper emphasizes the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 and how several women have used it to fight for their rights. The paper gives real examples of organizations that suffered as a result of gender distinction and represents the true scenario of gender bias in today?s world.
From the Paper
"Even after great advancements made by mankind in possibly all the fields of life, gender distinction between a man and woman still exists. The portraiture of power and the roles of gender in a prevalent culture reverberate meaningful patrimonial control, with the maneuvering of a female gender an appurtenant element of its objective. Women working in a professional environment have to prove their importance within the acrimonious periphery created by men. Despite the changes, which have been brought in by many laws and movements, women today still do not enjoy a working environment where they would be given a status equal to that of a man."

Abstract
This paper explains that social psychology knowledge leads to the identification and challenge of gender stereotypes, to the identification of other ways of thinking about stereotypes and to the breaking of stereotypes. The author points out that an experimental design can be drawn to test the hypotheses that there is a difference in gender stereotypes for higher position and lower position employees and that there is the possibility that human resources management employees are more prejudiced by (more affected by) concerns about gender roles. The paper suggests a questionnaire describing an ambiguous workplace situation, which is followed by a series of specific questions to be rated on a five-point Likert scale.
From the Paper
"The study of social psychology can be of a great help to identify the stereotypes and the way they interact with our lives. A great body of research suggests that stereotypes are implicit, unconscious. In the workplace, however, they are more obvious, due to the fact that they appear repeatedly, and generate aversive behaviors as an outcome of unfairness. This is also true in socio-political context. Because stereotypes are implicit, the social psychology research and methods or simply the great amount of information on this subject would be very helpful for at least to gain awareness on the existence of such processes."

From the Paper
"Women were mistreated in factory jobs, but in this, they were no different from men. Women were usually kept in women?s only dormitories; the social environment in which they operated was completely controlled by the company where they worked. In cities, women were employed as seamstresses in sweatshops and were usually paid by the piece. Immigrants always kept the pay low, and poor working conditions met with tragedy in 1911, when 141 women working at the Triangle Waist Company died in a fire or trying to escape the conflagration by jumping out the window.

Abstract
This paper recounts the personal experience of a male employee of one of the El Pollo Loco fast food chain stores The author explains that he was chosen to be promoted to assistant manager at the store he worked at over his friend and female co-worker who was equally qualified for the position. The author also discusses the insight he gained from the experience concerning the ways women are discriminated against in the workplace.
From the Paper
"Sexual discrimination is a reality in the workforce. Despite many recent and well- publicized advances of individual women in business, and some prominent examples of female leadership of once male-dominated corporate entities, in the everyday experience of most workers, common workplace relations remain 'gendered' in terms of leadership. Gender constructs that favor promoting males to positions of leadership still affect the perceptions of managers, and their employees. I know this from my own personal experience, even though I am male."

Abstract
Examines how the gender roles for women in the workplace and in the home have changed and how they haven't. Discusses the additional burden women are faced with in carrying out their duties as compared to the duties of men, and suggests some possible solutions to the working woman's dilemma.
From the Paper
"Although many women value the opportunity to choose a career, they are frustrated because gender roles in the household haven?t changed to accommodate their participation in the workforce. This dissatisfaction is further compounded by the discrimination and harassment they encounter in their jobs. Returning to older gender roles in the 1950s isn?t the solution. Instead, household and corporate cultures need to adjust for the increased participation of women in the workforce over the past forty years and the financial reality that few families can make ends meet on one income."
