“…In this study, aimed at studying the national and cultural heritage of Uzbek literature in the period of independence, expanding the artistic and poetic scope of the prose of the period, the role and place of women in the works of writers, the scientist identifies several conceptual tasks and tries to solve them. In particular, the scientist systematized the various artistic interpretations of women's psychology in Uzbek short stories of the independence period, the writer's artistic skills, new means of psychological analysis, and their peculiarities (Caselli et al, 2006;Yip & Wong, 2014;Wang & Wong, 2021).…”

This article analyzes the research conducted by world scientists in the field of gender, identifying the relevance and necessity of the issues raised in them through scientific methods. In particular, scholars have studied the gender phenomenon, gender parameters, as well as the semantic grouping and gynocritical analysis generated through the gender component. A scientific approach to this work has been expressed. In the analysis of the research, it is substantiated by the fact that the issues in this area in Uzbek translation studies are not sufficiently studied.

“…The moderating role of employees' gender Empirical studies have shown that female employees are more likely to suffer from unfair treatment in employment relation outcomes than male employees (e.g. Santos and de Hilal, 2018;Wang and Wong, 2021). For example, Zhu et al (2022) pointed out that there is widespread gender discrimination in the labor market and workplaces in China for historical, political, institutional, and cultural reasons.…”

“…The term gender discrimination refers to the perception that individuals are treated unfairly in the workplace on the basis of their gender (Triana et al, 2019). Gender discrimination is widespread in workplaces, and female employees are often the targets of discrimination (Wang and Wong, 2021;Zhu et al, 2022). In order to avoid these continued threats of sexism, some female executives/leaders deliberately display a masculine leadership style, and they are more inclined to promote and help male subordinates while being stricter and more resistant to female subordinates; such female leaders are figuratively called 'queen bees' (Derks et al, 2011;Staines et al, 1974).…”

PurposeDespite the growing research interest in gender diversity, the presence of female executives and organizational outcomes, the relationship between female executives and employment relations outcomes remains under-researched. This study aims to examine the potential relationship between female executives and employment relations outcomes, with the gender gap as a focus.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 2,682 workers from 119 manufacturing firms in Guangdong Province, southern China.FindingsResults show that firms with female executives are more likely to comply with labor laws and promote staff development. The association between female executives and promotion opportunities is stronger for female employees than for male employees. However, there is no significant association between female executives and employee salaries.Originality/valueThis research contributes to employment relations literature and extends the application of social role theory to studies of employment relations in particular societal contexts. This study also provides possible boundary conditions for the existence of queen bee behavior by using data from Chinese factories.

Although the Chinese government has implemented a variety of measures, the gender wage gap in 21st century China has not decreased. A significant body of literature has studied this phenomenon using sector segmentation theory, but these studies have overlooked the importance of the collective economy beyond the public and private sectors. Moreover, they have lacked assessment of the gender wage gap across different wage groups, hindering an accurate estimation of the gender wage gap in China, and the formulation of appropriate recommendations. Utilizing micro-level data from 2004, 2008, and 2013, this paper examines trends in the gender wage gap within the public sector, private sector, and collective economy. Employing a selection bias correction based on the multinomial logit model, this study finds that the gender wage gap is smallest and most stable within the public sector. Furthermore, the private sector surpasses the collective economy in this period, becoming the sector with the largest gender wage gap. Meanwhile, a recentered influence function regression reveals a substantial gender wage gap among the low-wage population in all three sectors, as well as among the high-wage population in the private sector. Additionally, employing Brown wage decomposition, this study concludes that inter-sector, rather than intra-sector, differences account for the largest share of the gender wage gap, with gender discrimination in certain sectors identified as the primary cause. Finally, this paper provides policy recommendations aimed at addressing the gender wage gap among low-wage groups and within the private sector.
