Management, Organization and Masculinity

Management, Organization and Masculinity provides a thorough understanding of the influence of gender in the workplace.

Deborah Kerfoot and David Knights consider the interconnections between masculinity, management, organization and work. They show how contemporary management and organizational practices still exhibit forms of behaviour that may be characterised as masculine; bring together literature from feminist discourse and organizational and management studies; and explore concepts and ideas which may account for both the management of individual masculinities at a personal level and the reproduction of masculinities at organizational level.
