    Open AccessKathryn Fortnum, Maricarmen Almarcha et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sports and Active…2026

    Introduction: Despite the increase in women's participation in sport, women remain underrepresented in leadership roles across the global sport landscape. In response, governments and sport organisations have developed Women's Leadership Programs (WLPs) to foster women's development in sports leadership. Although these initiatives aim to strengthen women's confidence and leadership capabilities, existing evaluations often focus on programme struc…

  • The Biopolitical Battlefield of Professional Bodies

    Open AccessFitri Hariana Oktaviani, Bernard Mckenna et al.ARTICLEGender Work and Organization2026

    This study examines the contested biopolitical demands placed on women leaders in Indonesia as they discipline their bodies to inhabit “professionalism.” Moving beyond simple organizational dress codes, we apply Foucault's concept of the dispositive to analyze how professional norms emerge at the volatile intersection of cultural, religious, state, and global discourses. Using a feminist interpretation of Foucauldian discourse analysis, we analyz…

  • Beliefs About the Origins and Achievement of Gender Equality

    Open AccessMiriam S Yates, Terrance Fitzsimmons et al.ARTICLESex Roles2025References: 13

    Proponents of a biosocial constructionist perspective assert that a gender equal future requires a shift in gender beliefs across gender groups. In the current study, we examine whether this shift is happening among 500 adolescent boys and girls attending elite single-sex schools in Australia, where students are encouraged and socialized to hold positions of leadership within society and institutions. Adolescents reported their beliefs about the …

    Victor J Callan, Kaye Bowman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Vocational Education…2021

    With industry restructuring and closure, many displaced older workers need major supports and interventions to find a new job. The completion of 52 interviews with displaced older workers, and with those supporting them in retraining and employment, identified evidence-based practices across multiple industry sectors that might lead to more successful reskilling, training and job outcomes. Three types of reskilling interventions were identified: …

  • Injunctive and descriptive logics during newcomer socialization

    Open AccessLaura G E Smith, Nicole Gillespie et al.ARTICLEJournal of Organizational Behavior2016Cited by: 4References: 11

    Failure to adjust to a new organization has major personal, team, and organizational costs. Yet, we know little about how newcomers' pre-entry institutional assumptions influence and shape their subsequent socialization. To address this issue, we propose and test a model examining whether the discrepancy between newcomers' injunctive logics (pre-entry beliefs about what institutional practices ought to be) and their descriptive logics (actual exp…
