The purpose of this research study was to identify and examine, from both men’s and women’s perspectives, the specific behaviors and strategies male allies use to successfully support the advancement of women in workplace settings. From a survey of 243 men and women, the team gathered qualitative survey data that were analyzed to identify the strategies and behaviors used by male allies. Top responses included developmental relationships, human resource (HR) processes, leadership development, recognition (both public and private), treating women as equals, and challenging sexist behavior. Some differences existed between perceptions of men and women in terms of the most critical ally behaviors. These research findings have scholarly and practical implications in future efforts to work toward greater gender parity.
The COMPASS experiment, located in the North Area of CERN, has the study of nucleon structure as one of its primary physics goals. In 2015 and 2018, COMPASS collected Drell-Yan and J/ production data from the collisions of a 190 GeV − beam with a transversely-polarized proton target and a tungsten target. Dimuon angular distributions provide valuable information about the transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMD PDFs) of the nucleon. Transverse-spin dependent azimuthal asymmetries (TSAs) are of particular interest because they can be used to test the predicted sign change of the Sivers TMD PDF when measured in Drell-Yan compared to semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering. Additionally, TSAs in J/ production may give access to gluon TMD PDFs and also improve our understanding of the charmonium production mechanism.
The phrase 'a woman's place' has been used to assert there are roles or locations socially acceptable for women to occupy, inferring there are places or positions where they do not belong. While it could be dismissed as an outdated expression, a saying that reflects oldfashioned views no longer held, women who aspire to leadership in government organizations still experience the alienating effects of the phrase that implies they do not belong. This study sought to understand the lived experiences of nine women who successfully navigated a path to executive leadership in Utah state government. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to understand their first-person lived experience of being a leader in an environment where a dominant majority of leadership positions are held by men. By using social role theory and role congruity theory as the theoretical framework, data analysis showed that through their experiences, the women relied upon persistence and resilience to pursue a career path where leadership developmental opportunities echoed the labyrinth metaphor rather than the traditional metaphor of a career ladder. Embedded in these experiences was a struggle for visibility and voice, where the women were confronted with being socially excluded. Listening to the stories of these women showed how their grit and determination helped them succeed as a leader.Recommendations for practice and future research were grounded in their narratives and in the research literature, with the goal of moving to a point where the phrase 'a woman's place' will no longer haunt the experience of women leaders within government organizations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
