Gender budgeting: a comparative analysis among Italian universities
No full textThis study investigates the theme of gender gap and the policies being pursued to narrow this gap within the Italian academic context through the analysis of gender budgets published by selected universities across the country. Our study reveals persistent significant gender disparities within the composition of Italian universities, regardless of regional affiliation. This research contributes theoretically by enriching the existing body of knowledge in gender studies and non-financial reporting, with a particular focus on the importance of clear and transparent communication in fostering and valuing diversity Keywords: gender budgeting, university, diversity management, Gender Equalit

Five years of gender research in the public sector by the IPAZIA Observatory: a review of the studies and a research agenda.
No full textThe issue of gender equality in public organizations is a relevant subject of academic and practitioners’ management debate as gender balance represents a symbol of democracy and good governance, leading to a more equitable and sustainable economy and improving trust in public entities. It has also attracted the attention of institutions and society, as confirmed by the commitment in European financial programs Horizon 2020 and Horizon 2021-2027. Nevertheless, women under-representation in workplaces still exists and scholars highlight the need to conceptualize the effect of gender in public employment, with a broader perspective in terms of settings and sectors. The study aims to address these requirements through a literature review on gender and public sector considering the studies on the topic published by the IPAZIA Observatory since its inception, both in volumes and in conference proceedings. Mainly using qualitative methods, the papers analysed show that public institutions are strongly gendered and do not allow women equal work opportunities compared to men, especially in technological fields. However, encouraging women's involvement in public organizations may have a positive effect on public administration outcomes as female engagement creates high level of cooperation reducing conflicts, generates a positive push for innovation and in co-production of corporate value. Besides, our results prove a positive relationship between both gender diversity and accountability for sustainability and gender diversity and disclosure of diversity information as the presence of women at different levels of the organization generates positive expectations of quality, credibility, and transparency by reducing information asymmetry and by signaling legitimacy. In achieving its aim, our study provides both theoretical and practical contributions in order to give a research agenda useful to guide future research efforts, and also highlight how the implementation of gender equality and work-life balance policies can create a system of benefits for public entities
Implementing an Intellectual Capital framework in practice
No full textAbstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse the transition from measurement to management
in relation to intellectual capital (IC). It aims to understand the relationships between measurement of
IC and operational activities, strategies and context.
Design/methodology/approach – This study takes an “action research” perspective to investigate
the management of the analysed company in respect to IC.
Findings – The study concerns a company operating in the field of electronics and defence, which has
developed a model of IC management. Every project set up by the company that impacts on IC is
subject to measurement, valuation and reporting. This model aims to be an effective support to general
management, providing a link between intangible assets and capabilities that create value.
Originality/value – This study does not aim to develop a framework for IC measurement but to
highlight the process leading to implementing an IC framework in practice.
