GENDER AT WORK - MA ÀNGELS VILADOT MELANIE C ST...

While many women receive equal education  such equality is nowhere in sight when it comes to
women¿s and men¿s career success: men still earn significantly more than women and are more
likely to be promoted. In this book  the authors offer a state of the art review of applied
social-psychological research on gender at work  shedding light on all the different ways that
work-related perceptions  attributions  outcomes  and the like differ for women and men.
Focusing on domains (e.g.  engineering) and positions (e.g.  leadership) that are marked by
women¿s underrepresentation  the first part of the book looks at gender at work in terms of
stereotypes  attitudes  and social roles  including parenthood  while the second part takes a
social identity and communication perspective  exploring the situations in which men and women
interact at work. Many chapters focus on applied questions  such as career choice  effects of
role models  and sexual harassment at work. Theories and findings are applied to these topics 
with conclusions and recommendations drawn throughout the book.
