“…Though there are indications that the gender gap has reduced, there is still a substantial partiality against women in both upper management positions and in compensation (Jarrell & Stanley, 2004). It appears that the workforce perceive women as a burden due to certain social factors such as the nature of womanhood in bearing children, require social services and maternity leave (Rimashevskaia, May-June 2008). This is further agreed by Erying and Stead (1998) in their identification of other barriers such as lack of informal advice and sponsorship for women, less work assignments, etc.…”

This research revolves around the field of cross cultural study whereby the researcher focuses on discovering exactly by what means and way cultural stereotypes influences management effectiveness in the Malaysian hospitality workforce. It was observed from past studies that organizations are taking necessary measures in forming strategies to overcome challenges formed by cultural stereotypes. However, the issue still exists due to the challenges in terms of adaptation and understanding of cultural differences among people. This indicates that the growing phenomenon of globalization has not spared culture, as the integration of different cultures leads to the act of "cultural stereotyping", one of the many facets in the context of culture. This study consists of three research objectives; (i) to explore the understanding of management effectiveness among the Malaysian hospitality workforce, (ii) to examine and explore the means of influence cultural stereotypes has upon management effectiveness within the hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and (iii) to identify the gaps of cultural stereotyping as being a hindrance to modern hospitality management within the hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Methodologically, this study employed a qualitative approach whereby the samples were chosen based on snowball and criterion method. Data collected were then coded using In Vivo and Initial coding of which then were analyzed using Thematic analysis. This study proved the existence of contradictory evidence as oppose to the extensive literature from previous studies with regard to this research area. Therefore, findings from this study can be made as a comparison to prior studies with its aim in exploring for an in-depth understanding of what lays behind the different perspectives as previous studies were mostly conducted in Western settings. It is undeniable that comparisons made will bring to light of how cultural differences shape the mind set of individuals and societies alike.

“…It is based on traditional patriarchal ideas as well as on the importance of femininity and masculinity. The inability of Russian men to demonstrate subsequent masculinity has been found to be associated with worry, depression, and sleep disorders (Rimashevskaia, 2008). Similar phenomena were reported by Flores et al (2014), who found that cultural values emphasizing masculinity prevented Hispanic drug users from seeking treatment.…”

This qualitative study focuses on the unique characteristics of drug abuse among former Soviet Union (FSU) immigrant drug addicts in Israel, as well as on special concerns faced by them during rehabilitation. It is based on in-depth interviews with Russian-speaking recovering addict counselors employed in addiction treatment centers. The findings point to the existence of a distinct "Russian" drug-abuse culture that is expressed through unique patterns of abuse, rapid deterioration, adherence to the "Russian" criminal moral code, and distinct norms of interpersonal relations. Furthermore, a complex relationship between this culture and the rehabilitation process was found, with cultural features having both negative as well as positive effects on patients' chances of successful recovery. A discussion is presented regarding the implications for treatment based on the interviewees' reflections as well as on existing literature.

“…Commodified and sexualized, her image evoked heterosexual fantasies, desires, and fears (Babb 2004;Butler 1993;Curtis 2004;Griffin 2007;Lutz and Collins 1993;Rubin 1975Rubin , 1984Stoler 1989). Visually, she equally corresponded to the seductive Cold War spy and to current American media portrayals which almost exclusively depict Russian women as "mail order brides" or the victims of sex trafficking rings, a motif repeated in the criminal dramas Law and Order and every version of the CSI franchise, as well as lighter crime shows such as Monk and Bones (Holmgren 1995;Goscilo 1996;Johnson 2007;Katchanovski 2009;Osipovich 2005;Rimashevskaia 2008;Voronina 2009;Zabyelina 2009). Much like the products of Orientalist knowledge, these media images of Russian women establish a clear message of semiotic difference between East and West (Barthes 1957;Bulgakowa 2005;Celeste 2011;Gal 2005;Ginsburg 1994;Hyun-Yi Kang 1993;Stein 1989;Stoler 1989), and place the Western (male) consumer in a "flexible positional superiority" (Said 1978:7).…”
