The Rocky Climb: Women's Advancement In Management (In Press), I. Metz, C. Kulik Dec 2011

The Rocky Climb: Women's Advancement In Management (In Press), I. Metz, C. Kulik

Isabel Metz

The literature on the barriers to women’s advancement is rich and spans several decades. As a result, we aimed in this chapter to illustrate rather than comprehensively examine ‘if and how’ some of the barriers to women’s advancement in management have changed. To this end, we focused on four types of persistent barriers to women’s advancement (decision-makers’ denial of gender discrimination, gender roles, stereotypes and perceptions, and organisational culture), one new version of an old barrier (covert discrimination) and on one new barrier (growing gender fatigue). We conclude that the more things changed (e.g., the world of work has become …

Toxin Handling And Wellbeing: The Case Of The Human Resource Manager (In Press), I. Metz, M. Brown, C. Cregan, C. Kulik Dec 2011

Toxin Handling And Wellbeing: The Case Of The Human Resource Manager (In Press), I. Metz, M. Brown, C. Cregan, C. Kulik

Isabel Metz

This study uses the job demands-resources model and multiple role theory to gain an understanding of the ‘toxin handling - well being’ relationship. ‘Toxin handlers’ are empathetic managers willing to try to address pain and suffering in organizations (Frost, 2007). We use data from semi-structured, in-depth interviews with HR managers to investigate the impact of the toxin handling role on well being. The interviews indicate that toxin handling does not necessarily lead to the toxin handler’s ill health, because factors such as organizational and personal resources can influence that relationship. Further, toxin handlers can face very different toxin handling demands. …
