Gender_Roles_in_the_Work_Place

Gender Roles in the Work Place Within the “Western” culture of North America, gender is socially constructed as a “new culture” that influences people’s lives in various different aspects. Society creates the rules for what constitutes being a man or women, which create different experiences for both sexes socially, economically, and politically. In this essay, I will argue that the structure, processes, and operation of corporations are affected by gender ideologies that are established and reinforced by society. As a result, being a male or female has its advantages and disadvantages when working in the labour force. Moreover, women have always been seen at a disadvantage compared to men in terms of labour market related aspects such as, promotions, wage increases, and respect! More importantly, I will analyze this issue of gender and organization in relation to the Gendered Organization Theory and my personal experiences at my work (Future Shop) to provide a theoretical and practical understanding of this issue occurring within society. Currently, I work for Future Shop as a sales associate in the Communication Department. I have been employed with the company for almost a year and have observed and experienced different situations that have been influenced by gender ideologies created gender, women, men, sales, male, within, shop, future, acker, work, labour, organization, one, female, working, processes, customer, between, service, process, organizations, experiences, employee, different, being, author, associate, aspects, 1990, warranty, society, seen, sale, pp, observations, language, juice, images, gendered, each, during, create, certain, argues, 306, various, understanding, two, traits, training
