Sexual Orientation at Work: Contemporary Issues and Perspectives de Fiona Colgan

Sexual Orientation at Work: Contemporary Issues and Perspectives: Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society

Editat de Fiona Colgan, Nick Rumens
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 aug 2018
 Sexual Orientation at Work: Contemporary Issues and Perspectives brings together contemporary international research on sexual orientation and draws out its implications for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and heterosexual employees and managers. It provides new empirical and theoretical insights into sexual orientation employment discrimination and equality work in countries such as South Africa, Turkey, Australia, Austria, Canada, US and the UK. This book is novel in its focus on how sexual orientation intersects with other aspects of difference such as age, class, ethnicity and disability. It adopts new theoretical perspectives (e.g. queer theory) to analyze the rise of new ‘gay-friendly’ organizations, and examines important methodological issues in collecting socio-economic data about sexual minorities.
Providing an accessible account of key issues and perspectives on sexual orientation in the workplace, Sexual Orientation at Work caters to a wide range of readers across business, feminist, and LGBT/Queer Studies fields.

Recenzii

"Sexual orientation, commonly included in the list of categories for which employees may not be discriminated against, has not always been discussed in great detail in organizational literature. This new volume addresses this need, presenting in 15 essays research from various areas of the study of sexual orientation in the workplace. These essays include information on how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual employees have fared at work in different industries and in different countries, as well as discussion of how discrimination of other categories of difference, such as age, class, ethnicity, and disability, intersects with issues of sexual orientation. There may not always be clear solutions to problems relating to sexual orientation at work, but managers and students of organization will benefit at least by learning about the complexity of these issues. The book's contributors include professors of business, law, and sociology from the UK and US, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and Austria, and their research examines various workplaces and employee groups, including schools, courts, the military, police services, airline cabin crews, unions, and young workers. Each chapter contains extensive references. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." - F. Reitman, Pace University CHOICE, December 2014
