Gender-specific preferences in global performance management - an empirical study of male and female leaders in a multinational context
No full textDue to copyright restrictions, the access to the full text of this article is only available via subscription.This study investigates gender-specific preferences in one important human resource management (HRM) practice—namely, global performance management (GPM). GPM has major consequences for the career advancement of women and can therefore also represent a barrier if it is rooted in traditional male corporate cultures. As prior research suggests that the underrepresentation of women in top management positions is a worldwide phenomenon with only minor national variations, empirical data were collected in five countries belonging to various cultural clusters: China, France, Germany, South Africa, and the United States. For all countries, the results show that preferences vary significantly between male and female managers for crucial parts of the GPM system (actors’ roles, evaluation methods, feedback procedures, and GPM purposes). This study confirms that the preferences of female managers do not match more male-oriented GPM practices, indicating that female managers are less satisfied with existing GPM procedures. It was particularly surprising to find that these gender differences do not vary according to cultural background, but rather display the same pattern in all investigated countries. These findings not only have the potential to explain the often-limited career advancement of women, but also have major implications for multinational companies aiming to retain talented women

Introduction to the Research Handbook on New Frontiers of Equality and Diversity at Work
Full text linkManaging diversity is now widely understood as both a societal and organizational concern around the world, beyond the US where the concept was originally conceived. Mirroring this diffusion to the political and corporate spheres, equality, diversity and inclusion1 (EDI) at work has become a fully-fledged scientific field of inquiry, with its own journals and dedicated book series with major academic publishers. This Handbook adds to this growing body of literature, but it also makes a contribution by filling an invisible gap which we will outline below. In spite of this diffusion and institutionalization, diversity management research is predominantly rooted in Anglo-Saxon countries and Europe, as has been evidenced in a recent systematic review of literature (Cachat-Rosset et al., 2017). As a result, EDI scholarship is mono-culturally infused and biased (e.g., Jonsen et al., 2011; Nishii & Özbilgin, 2007).
EDI cannot be treated as universally understood concepts since contexts tend to shape how they are studied and implemented, as evidenced in country-specific and comparative perspectives on equal treatment and diversity (Klarsfeld, 2010; Syed & Özbilgin, 2010; Klarsfeld et al., 2014; Klarsfeld et al., 2016a, 2016b). Such scholarship has brought nuance, but most of it focuses on Western countries, while voices from Latin America, Asia, and Africa are notably absent
Interpretation and performance of three orchestral compositions by Gabriela Lena Frank: Escaramuza, Elegia Andian, and Three Latin American Dances
No full textThis work presents interpretative and performance suggestions for three of Gabriela Lena Frank’s orchestral works: Escaramuza (2010), Elegia Andina (2000), and Three Latin American Dances (2004). Frank’s compositions frequently include programmatic elements that reference other well-known compositions, and she incorporates melodies, rhythms, timbres, instrumentation, and performance techniques characteristic of her Peruvian cultural heritage. Examples of these elements are presented from a lecture recital format to demonstrate how performance practice and conducting decisions—in rehearsal and performance—can be utilized to honor the composer’s expressed intent and overcome various technical ensemble and conducting challenges. An overview of the cultural contextual elements includes Harawi and Kachampa dance structures. The author also suggests methods for presenting elements that affect the timbre and instrumental scoring specific to each work, for example the Andean Zampoña. This research provides performers with a resource to deepen their score study, and seeks to inspire more people to perform the music of Gabriela Lena Frank.D. A

Cladal Divergence in Fungal Ophiognomonia (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales) Shows Evidence of Climatic Niche Vicariance
No full textWe used the globally widespread genus Ophiognomonia as a model system to investigate climatic niche patterns in fungi, characterizing the climatic profiles of 28 species with seven temperature and seven precipitation variables. Using a novel version of Spatial Evolutionary and Ecological Vicariance Analysis (SEEVA), designed to deal with continuous and correlated variables, we examined well-sampled phyletic splits of a multi-gene phylogeny. We evaluated the degree to which phyletic divergence has been associated with climatic niche divergence between sister lineages, permitting elucidation of climatic associations in evolutionary context. From the 14 inter-correlated climatic variables, we extracted four principal axes, accounting for 93.2% of the climatic variation, with axes broadly labeled as: polarity, tropicality, winter mildness, and aridity. We also analyzed the two single variables maximum monthly temperature and precipitation. We detected climatic associations that were compatible with both niche-conservatism and niche-divergence within the phylogeny, and different cladistic bifurcations associated with different climatic splits. As might have been anticipated, geographic separation (or lack thereof) of phylogenetic splits was correlated with climate niche divergence (or conservation). This elaborated SEEVA method provides a visual and statistically solid basis for characterizing climatic niche divergence that should prove useful for elucidation of many other taxonomic groups.Peer reviewe
Tackling Gender Inequality in STEM: Breaking Barriers and Building Futures
