Abstract
This paper recounts the personal experience of a male employee of one of the El Pollo Loco fast food chain stores The author explains that he was chosen to be promoted to assistant manager at the store he worked at over his friend and female co-worker who was equally qualified for the position. The author also discusses the insight he gained from the experience concerning the ways women are discriminated against in the workplace.
From the Paper
"Sexual discrimination is a reality in the workforce. Despite many recent and well- publicized advances of individual women in business, and some prominent examples of female leadership of once male-dominated corporate entities, in the everyday experience of most workers, common workplace relations remain 'gendered' in terms of leadership. Gender constructs that favor promoting males to positions of leadership still affect the perceptions of managers, and their employees. I know this from my own personal experience, even though I am male."

Abstract
This paper explains that social psychology knowledge leads to the identification and challenge of gender stereotypes, to the identification of other ways of thinking about stereotypes and to the breaking of stereotypes. The author points out that an experimental design can be drawn to test the hypotheses that there is a difference in gender stereotypes for higher position and lower position employees and that there is the possibility that human resources management employees are more prejudiced by (more affected by) concerns about gender roles. The paper suggests a questionnaire describing an ambiguous workplace situation, which is followed by a series of specific questions to be rated on a five-point Likert scale.
From the Paper
"The study of social psychology can be of a great help to identify the stereotypes and the way they interact with our lives. A great body of research suggests that stereotypes are implicit, unconscious. In the workplace, however, they are more obvious, due to the fact that they appear repeatedly, and generate aversive behaviors as an outcome of unfairness. This is also true in socio-political context. Because stereotypes are implicit, the social psychology research and methods or simply the great amount of information on this subject would be very helpful for at least to gain awareness on the existence of such processes."

From the Paper
"Women were mistreated in factory jobs, but in this, they were no different from men. Women were usually kept in women?s only dormitories; the social environment in which they operated was completely controlled by the company where they worked. In cities, women were employed as seamstresses in sweatshops and were usually paid by the piece. Immigrants always kept the pay low, and poor working conditions met with tragedy in 1911, when 141 women working at the Triangle Waist Company died in a fire or trying to escape the conflagration by jumping out the window.

From the Paper
"Since the last decade, the methods of acquisition and display of power for women generally has changed. As gender equality is being more emphasized, especially in business, women have found themselves in an uneasy position. Their self-perception has changed to a more masculine tradition, as the society expect women to act like men in order to compete inside organizations. Consequently, some women have learned the route to gain power and that is, to use handshake as often as men do."

Abstract
Examines how the gender roles for women in the workplace and in the home have changed and how they haven't. Discusses the additional burden women are faced with in carrying out their duties as compared to the duties of men, and suggests some possible solutions to the working woman's dilemma.
From the Paper
"Although many women value the opportunity to choose a career, they are frustrated because gender roles in the household haven?t changed to accommodate their participation in the workforce. This dissatisfaction is further compounded by the discrimination and harassment they encounter in their jobs. Returning to older gender roles in the 1950s isn?t the solution. Instead, household and corporate cultures need to adjust for the increased participation of women in the workforce over the past forty years and the financial reality that few families can make ends meet on one income."

Abstract
This essay serves to examine the wage inequalities between men and women in the modern day workforce. It references two specific examples of gender discrimination; Ann Hopkins? suit against Price Waterhouse in 1982 and Muriel Kraszewski?s suit against State Farm. The author also explains in detail the ramifications of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which attempts to protect the rights of women who work in the same jobs as men.
From the Paper
"In order to fully gain equal employment and fairness, traditionally male positions must be opened to females. This is the only way to shatter the glass walls and ceilings that are so prevalent in today?s society. Many women have fought discrimination and improved their own lives and the lives of countless other women over the span of several generations. The first step in creating equality in the workplace is to inform women of their rights. The next step is for these women to exercise their rights. Women can no longer allow themselves to be excluded from the workforce. Individuals concerned about equality should press for the continuation and strengthening of better paying jobs for women, and this support must not come from women alone. In order for our society to foster this change, we must understand why these changes are necessary. Society requires that men and women work together and this is not likely to change. What must change is the way that we work together. "

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses trends in society that may stop women advancing in their careers or entering a traditionally male type of employment. It explains that, while changes have taken place over the years, there is still much that needs to be improved before equal opportunities in job markets can exist.
From the Paper
"Gender differences in the workplace has long been the subject of anti-discrimination laws and movements. This is especially true of male-dominated industries such as engineering, firefighting, police work, space travel, etc. Currently society appears to support women doing any kind of work they wish, whether it be a direction that women traditionally choose or not. Many more paths are open to women than was previously the case. However, the attitude of some men (and even women) to this new social paradigm is often more difficult to change than the paradigm itself. When examples are considered of women in traditionally male-dominated professions, it is clear that some attitudes leave much to be desired. On the other hand, this kind of negative attitude in many cases serves simply to inspire women further to make a success under these difficult circumstances."

From the Paper
Recent linguistic research has centered its attention on the difference between the way men and women communicate in the workplace. Deborah Tannen, Ph.D. has extended her interest in the manner women and men communicate as expressed in You just don't understand (1990). In Talking from 9 to 5 (1994) Tannen scrutinizes how women's and men's conversational styles at work affects "who gets heard, who gets credit, and what gets work done". Tannen's research focuses on conversational rituals, apologies, indirectness, authority and status. Tannen emphasizes that the way people talk influences who attains power. "The ability to influence others, to be listened to, to get your way rather than having to do what others want" defines power (Tannen, 1994, p. 317). Tannen suggests that to learn more about gender..."

Abstract
The paper examines how, when people discuss gender relations, specifically gender discrimination in the Canadian workplace, they usually conduct their discussion on the presumption that there are only two genders - male and female. The writer proposes that gender relations have become much more complex than this, and the paradigm of just two, opposite genders is increasingly being challenged. The paper analyses some of the repercussions of this aspect of gender relations in the Canadian workplace. There is a rising tide of gender activists who are questioning the binary paradigms that pervade our thinking about gender relations, e.g. man OR woman, gay OR straight, etc.

From the Paper
"This research examines gender diversity in the nursing workplace. The plan of the research will be to set forth the context in which diversity has arisen as a salient feature of the nursing profession and principles of nursing practice that are relevant to the issue, and then to discuss ways in which diversity of the nursing work force--in particular gender diversity--has an impact on the substance and form of nursing practice, with a view toward forecasting possible lines of professional development.
At a time when patient access to institutional health care may be limited by the protocols of managed care, adherence to physicians' instructions, which are often mediated by nurses, are essential. Yet according to the American Nurses Foundation, minorities account for more than 27% of the American minority..."
