This article investigated Chinese and U.S. attitudes toward women as managers with the goal of establishing an empirical basis for comparison and understanding of the glass ceiling potential in each culture. The authors used the Women as Managers Scale (WAMS) to measure perceptions of 919 U.S. and Chinese participants. Results indicated differences in perceptions by gender and nationality. Overall, women were perceived less favorably as managers by Chinese and U.S. males as compared to perceptions of Chinese and U.S. female participants. Findings are discussed in terms of existing research and areas for future research are suggested.

During the past decade, retaliation as a basis for employment discrimination claims has risen dramatically from fourth to second place (behind race), increasing by 46%. By definition, retaliation is the act of an employer, through a manager, inflicting an adverse action (such as discharge, discipline, or demotion) against an employee who has complained of discrimination. Retaliation claims open the possibility of punitive damages, examples of which are given in this article. Drawing 1361 cases from a 21-year database, we report the characteristics of retaliation claims and offer recommendations to prevent and manage such claims.

In this study, the authors surveyed 445 human resources (HR) professionals to determine their views regarding the HR curriculum content that will lead to graduates' success in entry-level (first-job) HR positions. Ninety-eight questionnaires (22%) were returned. Respondents identified five topics—equal employment opportunity/affirmative action (EEO/AA), employee rights and responsibilities, recruitment, selection, and compensation—as most important. They considered internship experience to be more valuable than professional human resource certification and indicated that HR curricula should reflect workplace and societal trends, general business understanding, and communication and teamwork skills. For HR curriculum development, the authors suggest a "niche" approach that provides in-depth training in some common HR functions, along with training in communication and teamwork skills.

The objective of the current study was to determine if stereotypical perceptions of women as managers existed among men and women in two different cultural settings, the U.S. and Chile. Using the Women as Managers Scale (WAMS), 412 participants from the U.S. and Chile responded to questions about their perceptions of women performing managerial roles and tasks. Gender and culture effects were identified at both the multivariate and univariate levels.1 The results showed that male subjects in both cultures had more stereotypical and negative perceptions of women as managers than did female subjects, and the U.S. participants (both male and female) had more positive and less stereotypical perceptions of women as managers than the Chilean participants. Implications for research and practice in cross-cultural and international management are discussed.

... Internships have emerged as a significant vehicle for talent development and workforce integration across diverse industries and sectors (Kapareliotis et al., 2019;Knouse & Fontenot, 2008;Maertz et al., 2014). Scholars have examined the utility of internships in many contexts, including human resources (Shoemaker, 2021;Sincoff & Owen, 2004), accounting (Butler et al., 2019;Sessions, 2006), marketing-advertising (Bush, 2008;Dommeyer et al., 2016), finance/banking (Wright & Mulvey, 2021), hotel/restaurant management (Chen et al., 2018;Mensah et al., 2021;Zopiatis et al., 2021), and public relations (Corrigan, 2015;Arnold & O'Brien, 2023). However, the practical challenges in setting up and supporting a meaningful internship experience (Muehlemann et al., 2007;Owens & Stewart, 2016;Perlin, 2012) remain under-researched. ...

... Despite the state's many efforts to improve the employment conditions of women (e.g., the Protection of Rights and Interests of Women in 1992 and the Special Rules on the Labor Protection of Female Employees in 2012), researchers have found that discriminatory practices against women remain in recruitment, job allocation, promotion, redundancy and retirement management and other areas (e.g., Cooke, 2003;Cooke, 2010;Sincoff et al., 2009). ...

... Incluso al comprar las percepciones con participantes estadounidenses del estudio, se encontró que las percepciones son más estereotipadas en el caso de los participantes de Chile que los de los de EE.UU. En este contexto, los prejuicios culturales y de género se ha evidenciado que afectan negativamente a la percepción de las mujeres en puestos directivos(Owen et al., 2003).En este marco, en Chile se ha abordado de forma específica el rol de las mujeres líderes en el ámbito de la minería, contexto dominado por hombres de forma histórica. Las mujeres líderes sindicales de la industria minera del cobre en Chile experimentan una tensión constante entre subordinación y subversión como miembros y líderes de la organización sindical, luchando constantemente por su validación en un sector dominado por los hombres, enfrentándose tanto a la autonomía como a la dominación debido a las diferencias laborales y de género(Segovia, 2021).Situación similar se ha evidenciado en el caso de mujeres líderes al interior de las minas, quienes enfrentan el rechazo de los hombres subordinados como de sus pares líderes por ser mujeres. ...
