This book offers some of the most forward-looking work available on the topics of gendered organizations and the interrelationship of gender and race. In Gendering Organizational Analysis, one may get a glimpse of the broader domain of gender in organizations, an area infrequently reflected in research conducted in the United States. Gendering Organizational Analysis is not simply applicable to the organizations of others. It also offers insight on the gendering of the institutions within which knowledge is produced. --Academy of Management Review "Gendering Organizational Analysis makes a distinct contribution. The collection succeeds in demonstrating 'that gender makes an overwhelming difference to organizational reality'. Gendering Organizational Analysis is most useful for its accessibility. I will use this book to teach undergraduates in organizational studies. It would also be a useful addition to courses emphasizing the interdisciplinary contributions of gender and feminist studies." --Contemporary Sociology What impact do gender issues have on organizational structure and performance? Why should gender matter in organizational settings? And, how can we better understand organizations through a recognition of women's roles within them? In Gendering Organizational Analysis, the editors approach these questions from a variety of perspectives--structural and post-structural, social, psychological, interactionist, radical, and post-modernist. Contributors examine the core issue of how race and ethnicity are intertwined with gender in organizational settings and outline the concrete differences this issue makes in male-dominated work settings. They propose that numerous errors have been made in interpreting organizational operations because traditional approaches to organizational theory are ethnic- and gender-blind. Bringing together the top thinkers and writers on this crucial topic, Gendering Organizational Analysis will interest students and professionals in management, organizational studies, women's studies, sociology, and public administration.
