Missing out on the “Men’s Club”: Gendered Attitudes to Intrapreneurship within Large Corporations

This paper explores the factors that influence innovative and intrapreneurial behaviour amongst female employees. The paper explores a case study of one business unit (of approximately 1,100 employees) within a much larger corporation. It uses a qualitative methodology of semi-structured interviews to explore (1) the factors that influence innovative and intrapreneurial behaviour amongst female employees and (2) how these factors are influenced by the organisation. The paper is part of an emerging research agenda that explores gendered attitudes to intrapreneurial behaviour. This is an extremely under-researched area of research which tends to borrow heavily from studies into female self-employment. The paper demonstrates that rather than focus upon female attitudes to risk or lifestyle choices, the primary issue facing potential female intrapreneurs is implicit and explicit gatekeeping by male-dominated "innovation teams".

The Gender Gap in the Diagnostic-Therapeutic Journey of the Infertile Couple

Medical procreation impairs both the biological and psychological lives of couples. However, male and female attitudes to infertility are different and require a different approach during the IVF journey. Thus, the gender impact assessment (GIA) method was used to analyse original studies present in the literature. We found some gender-related differences and, subsequently, possible outcomes of intervention to improve healthy reproduction management and prevent infertility. In particular, it became apparent that there was the need for an in-depth male infertility assessment and a gender-specific follow-up.

Information and Communication Technology-Based Education Planning and Attitude of College Students

The ubiquity of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in every school framework in the world has become a trend. With ASEAN integration problems in 2015, can fresh and younger HEI's and their students cope with this trend? The goal of this analysis is to decide the preparedness and role of new HEI students in the field of ICT education. In this study a concise template utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire (α=.971) was used. The research findings show that students at college have a optimistic declaration ('agreement') on ICT use in education (x=3.71; S=.75). This was also shown that sex greatly affects the mindset of students (z=3.91, p=.00), where male attitudes are higher (x=3.91) than female attitudes (x=3.61). Moreover, it demonstrates that preparedness for ICT in general has little to do with the mindset of students towards the usage of ICT in school. Nonetheless, there is a important marginal positive association between ICT access and an attitude of significance to 0.05 (r=.15; p=.002; single-tailed), which suggests that the more a student gets introduced to ICT, the more he develops his attitude to ICT education. It was believed that ICT-based curriculum can be readily adopted and modified for the next several years by complete ICT adoption as the current educational framework. Current and younger HEIs will also spend more in ICT Accessibility and Connectivity to further boost ICT-based awareness and preparedness.

Female Attitudes Towards Self-employment and Breaking Occupational Stereotypes in Jharkhand

Although in recent times a growing number of women are entering into occupations that were traditionally dominated by men, these gains have not been equally realized. In the state of Jharkhand, a group of women have broken the occupational stereotypes and have become auto drivers, of vehicles that have suitably been named Pink Autos. An empirical study was undertaken to explore the intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors that have affected their occupational choice to break the stereotype. The results provide insights into the driving factors for the success for women micro-entrepreneurs.

Undergraduate Students’ Experiential Motives when Expressing Bajingan as Their Expletive

This research aims to investigate students’ acknowledgments on bajingan meanings and expletive motives revealing at their experiential life. One hundred and seventy-seven undergraduate students majoring in English, Javanese, and Indonesian participated in this study. Data were collected from the closed and opened questionnaires focusing on the self-rated perception of Scherer and Sagarin’s (2006) ten expletive motives, and Nicolau and Sukamto’s (2013) male and female attitudes toward the expletive. The analyses used the descriptive and non-parametric statistics. The minor differences among four expletive motives were found, on the other hand, the motive of acting cool indicated a significant difference (p = .000). The negative Z value for anger expression, Z = -1.910, peer pressure, Z = -.875, tensions and frustrations relief, Z = -1.567, part of acting cool, Z = -3.607, and society acceptance, Z = -.225. The findings also indicated 10.2% females and .7% males recognized bajingan as a wagon driver, whereas 70% females and 25% males stated it as an expletive. Males showed a predominant expletive more than females toward male and mixed gender. The TV program was believed as the mostly influenced media to triggering the expletive expression. This expletive deals with the intra- and inter-individual contexts deducing the positive or negative reactions.

Undergraduate Students’ Experiential Motives when Expressing Bajingan as Their Expletive

This study attempts at investigating students’ expletive motives revealing at their experiential life. 177 students majoring in English, Javanese, and Indonesian participated in this study. Data were collected from closed and opened questionnaires focusing on self-rated perception of Scherer and Sagarin’s (2006) ten swearing motives and Nicolau and Sukamto’s (2013) male and female attitudes toward expletive. Analyses used the descriptive and non-parametric statistics. Significant differences among four swearing motives were not found. But, the motive of acting cool indicated a significant difference (p=.000). The negative Z value (Z=-1.910) for anger expression, (Z=-.875) for peer pressure, (Z=-1.567) for tensions and frustrations relief, (Z=-3.607) for part of acting cool, and (Z=-.225) for society acceptance. The findings also indicated 10.2% females and .7% males confirmed bajingan as a wagon driver, whereas 70% females and 25% males stated it as an expletive. Males showed a predominant expletive more than females toward male and mixed gender. TV program was determined as the mostly influenced media. This expletive deals with intra-and inter-individual contexts deducing positive or negative reactions.

Institutional Structures, Party Selection, and Spotty Tights

Chapter 9 assesses the representation and roles of women in the UUP. Women represent 30 per cent of members of the Northern Ireland Assembly and 25 per cent of local councillors However, compared to other devolved institutions, where female representation is 42 and 35 per cent in the Welsh Assembly and Scottish Parliament respectively, Northern Ireland politics maintains a significant gender deficit, as nationality and religion tend to eclipse a gender focus. The gender deficit within unionist politics is stark when compared with nationalist parties. The chapter accounts for the reasons behind the gender deficit in the UUP, where there is low female party membership and elected representation. The chapter discusses how female participation is promoted. It examines male and female attitudes to women in the party, utilizing survey evidence on views of quotas, on whether female elected representatives can better represent women’s interests, and whether women have significant voice.

Power patterns, not gender, propagate corruption

Subject Corruption and gender. Significance Evidence of differences in male and female attitudes towards corruption has been used to design anti-graft policies in some countries. For example, Peru started hiring more women as traffic police officers because research suggests they are less corrupt. Yet there is still intense debate about whether disparities reflect innate differences in integrity or instead reflect variations in access to power, so that women may be less corrupt because they have fewer opportunities. Impacts Greater participation of women in national politics could see a rise in women engaging in corruption. Gender norms, however, could constrain such behaviours regardless of access to power. Nonetheless, a greater presence of women in public office could lead to shifts in approach in other areas of public policy.
