Female Career Progression & Maternity Leave: An Irish Exploration, Collette O'Connor, Angela Wright

Dept. of Organisation & Professional Development Publications

The persistent existence of the 'gender pay gap' in organisations, and the lack of females at executive level position in Ireland due to motherhood is the context for this paper. In particular, this study seeks to investigate why women's careers are impacted by childbearing. The study investigates if there is a correlation between taking maternity leave, and women's career progression in the work place.

This leads to stereotypical role emergence by both men and women. Women take on the main …

Roche’S Clinical Trials With Organs From Prisoners: Does Profit Trump Morals?, Judith Schrempf-Stirling

Management Faculty Publications

Behavioral Intervention To Reinforce Correct Youth Employee Behavior At A Nonprofit Boy Scout Summer Camp: A Case Study, Joshua Kallen

Honors Theses

A reinforcement plan was implemented to improve employee adhesion to set parameters in performance at a 24-hour employment scenario. The reinforcement plan successfully negated the extinction effects of the contingency across the 4 week quasi-experimental period which showed improvement compared to qualitative baseline data. These findings suggest that the reinforcement plan, rather than punishment contingencies, is a more effective tool for encouraging employee participation in activities which participation is aversive.
