Gendered paths to technology leadership
Results indicate that more than men, women aspiring technology leaders are heeding expert advice by assuming roles that focus less on technology and more on business and change management. The stereotype that women are better at working with people may be working in their favour in preparing them for advancement
Maximising compensation
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate differences in compensation related to gender concentrations among industries at different organisation levels of management to identify gender‐based patterns of compensation at the macro level not investigated in previous studies that simply suggest industry or occupational differences. Findings provide guidance for selection processes, career path management for maximising compensation and pol…
Characteristics of the Coda Experience in 21st-century Contemporary Culture
The Experiences of African American Male Commercial Sex Workers At-Risk for HIV
Due to the lack of education and the stigma attached to HIV testing, African American men are less likely to seek outreach services; therefore they are often unaware of their HIV status. Stigmatization of homosexuality in communities of color may also influence the availability of HIV/AIDS education and services; compounded with the fact that access to appropriate health care may be limited in these communities. While infection rates among Africa…
Proactive encouragement of interdisciplinary research teams in a business school environment

Design/methodology/approach The ExecuComp database of executives at 1,500 large US corporations from 1992 to 2004 was used to identify women CEOs and to examine gender differences in compensation of executives over that period. Additional information about the backgrounds of female CEOs was co…
Thomas Jefferson's Y chromosome belongs to a rare European lineage
We have characterized the Y chromosome carried by President Thomas Jefferson, the general rarity of which supported the idea that he, or a patrilineal relative, fathered the last son of his slave Sally Hemings. It belongs to haplogroup K2, a lineage representing only ∼1% of chromosomes worldwide, and most common in East Africa and the Middle East. Phylogenetic network analysis of its Y‐STR (short tandem repeat) haplotype shows that it is most clo…
Part‐time work
Part‐time work has been put forward as a solution to the problem of balancing career and family demands. However, there is mounting evidence that most part‐time arrangements do not regularly produce such positive solutions. Looks into the causes of women′s different reactions to part‐time arrangements. Draws from a literature review, case studies of individuals who work part‐time, and case studies of organizations who employ part‐timers. Finds ev…
