Omschrijving
This book brings together international research on sexual orientation and draws out its implications for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and heterosexual employees and managers. It offers a nuanced look at attitudes, behavior and the dynamics of sexuality in organizations.
"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
