Breaking the Glass Ceiling
This is a qualitative study of the career perspectives of early female leaders in Canada whose careers emerged from the second‐wave feminist movement and who ascended to executive leadership positions. Using a discourse analytic lens, we analyze their perspectives on women's limited presence in executive leadership roles. The research participants suggested that women lacked the necessary resilience or personality; women lacked requisite politica…
Staying Motivated
All Canadians benefit from a high quality of public service delivery, which is directly related to the motivation of public servants. A top priority for governments is to attract and retain a public sector workforce that is motivated and enthusiastic to serve the public good. The Public Service Motivation (PSM) theory offers a framework for the analysis of motivations of public servants. Knowledge is lacking on how motivations of public servants …
Furthering the Metaphor of the Leadership Labyrinth
Although the workforce has become more diverse, there is still a predominance of White men in positions of senior leadership. This is incongruent with social norms and values, evolving population demographics, and political movements (e.g., the MeToo and Black Lives Matter). Further, it suggests that, despite progress in shattering the glass ceiling, there may still be obstacles to senior leader roles for people who vary from the expected demogra…
Employment equity in Canada
Employment equity initiatives – redressing past inequities or discrimination by promoting the hiring of members of underrepresented groups – are controversial and divisive. Although a national Gallup poll (1993) indicated 74 % of Canadians felt a person's qualifications should solely determine hiring decisions, many have little knowledge and understanding of the issue. Adopting a discourse analytic framework, this research explores employees’ und…
Managerial discourses of work and eldercare
Organizations are sites of intense discursive battles between dominant discourses that reinforce existing structures and processes and emerging discourses striving for change to the status quo. This tension is particularly evident in the everyday organizational discourses about the relationship between the public and the private. Individuals balancing work and family demands, for instance, potentially engage in multiple discourses. The foundation…
Three Aspects of Insecurity of Employment
AN employee is normally and fundamentally insecure. He can be discharged at any time; no person or group is obliged to hire him; owning nothing on which he can work to live, he must work for others to gain a livelihood. This is the employee's basic insecurity. The owners of industry act on their power and the employee becomes unemployed. Vast numbers become periodically unemployed, as during the past year. Smaller numbers, but still a tragic tota…
