Description: "Voice, Visibility and the Gendering of Organizations examines how gender is linked to organizations and accounts for differences in the experiences of men and women in the world of work. The book is structured around the two interrelated concepts of voice and visibility. These are key themes in gender/organization literature and, by making a distinction between 'surface' and 'deep' conceptualisations, provide a useful organizing framework. In applying these concepts and by exploring contradictions and areas of commonality, Voice, Visibility and the Gendering of Organizations critically assesses the different theoretical perspectives and casts new light on the growing and increasingly diverse field of gender and organization studies." "This book is ideal for upper level undergraduate and Master's level modules on Gender and Organizations and Gender and Management, while it is also essential reading for academics and researchers of these subjects."--Jacket.
