Intersection of Ethnicity, Gender and Class
Tradition and transition
Women in academe
Cites women in academic science as an interesting case study to examine the effects of gender on work and career attainment. Suggests that inequality should be less pronounced in this area than other occupations as physical strengths, technical skills or leadership are less necessary in this sphere. Presents the findings of a cross‐national survey comparing Israel with other countries which shows that life in academia in every nation is no less s…

A cross‐national cross‐gender study of managerial task preferences and evaluation of work characteristics
Addresses the debate about gender‐based leadership/management styles by examining and comparing managerial task preferences and rating of work characteristics of women and men in management positions in the USA, Japan, Australia, Israel and Italy. The findings do not support the notion that women have a distinct leadership style, e.g. that they are more people‐oriented than men, or that they differ consistently in their evaluation of various job …
Professional-Support and Intellectual-influence Networks of Russian Immigrant Scientists in Israel
Two kinds of networks of Russian scientists who have recently immigrated to Israel are analyzed and compared. The first type is composed of other scientists, named by the scientists investigated as having influenced their research intellectually. The second type of network includes other scientists who helped those investigated in professional matters, such as using new research techniques and connecting newcomers to scientists and institutions i…
The nexus between family and work roles of academic women in Israel
The Effects of Minority Size on Women's Position in Academia
Attitudes Towards Work
This study examines the attitudes of scientists of different cultural backgrounds towards work. Two samples of scientists who have recently emigrated to Israel, from the USSR and USA, are investigated. The findings show considerable transnational similarity in respondents' importance rankings of a set of work characteristics pertaining to the professional role per se. However, the meanings that scientists attach to particular work characteristics…
The scientific ethos debate
A cross-cultural examination of scientists' perceived importance of work characteristics
Scientists' Orientation Toward their Work
THIS PAPER ADDRESSES itself to the controversy concerning the effect of inculcated during the process of scientific training versus the situational context in which scientists perform their occupational role. No support is found for the argument that scientists abandon scientific norms and adopt organizational perspectives and goals once they leave the university. Log linear methods of analysis are applied to data obtained from a sample of Soviet…
Scientific Autonomy East and West
This study examines the effects of nationality on scientific autonomy. It compares Soviet and United States natural scientists who have recently immigrated to Israel, with respect to the autonomy that they had in their countries of origin, that they have at present, and that they aspire to have in the future. Autonomy is examined in four areas of the scientific role: project selection, methods selection, budget allocation, and selection of cowork…
Return Migration to Israel
Return Migration to Israel
After surveying the historical and legal background of the return migration to Israel, the empirical investigation reported in this paper—based on a random sample of Israeli citizens who returned during 1970 from the U.S., Canada, and France—addressed itself to the subject of motivations to migrate. The analysis has shown that the attraction that Israel has for its citizens residing abroad is primarily associated with patriotic commitments and fa…
Return to Zion
Deprofessionalization and its Sources
The sociology of professions has focused mainly on identifying the characteristics of the ideal type of profession and the processes whereby an occupation moves toward full professionalization. The reverse trend of development, that of deprofessionalization, has not yet received much systematic attention. It is proposed that current changes in the functions and position of the professions require broadening the scope of analysis to include the co…
The Effect of Economic Incentives on Return Migration
The Structure of Social Casework and Behavioural Change
The casework method practised in social work is assessed from a sociological-structural perspective. Social workers are viewed as agents of social control who wield power and authority in order to change their clients' attitudes and behaviour. It is argued that the main weaknesses of casework as a technique for personal change lie in its dyadic structure and isolation from the client's real-life environment. These characteristics impede the opera…
