“…This is supported by related studies which indicated that domestic work burden takes up much of women's productive time (Kinati, Mulema 2016). Balancing of workloads between men and women enables the women to realize their full potential, using and managing lands sustainably (Samandari 2017;Huluka et al 2022). Further findings demonstrated that environmental depletion and resource degradation magnify women's workload and drudgery through walking long distances to collect firewood and fetch water (Abate 2020).…”

“…Worldwide, women's empowerment is an important means in achieving sustainable development through income generating activities and enhances economic development of their families, society and country too (Huis et al 2017). Participation of women https://doi.org/10.17221/165/2022-JFS in income generating activity is a key route to bring women's empowerment and the most important factor that contributes to equality between women and men (Akram et al 2015;Huluka 2022). Further, women's participation is important to uplift them through economic decision-making, increase their access to resources and control (Alemu et al 2022).…”

Local people's socio-economic and natural resources, especially forest resources, have been affected by land degradation in Ethiopia in the past years. To combat this problem, rehabilitation of community-based degraded land has been performed since 1979. Rehabilitation of degraded land (RDL) is important for forest management strategy regarding the regeneration of degraded forests and related resources through women's empowerment. Because empowered women are key users and managers of resources from rehabilitated land such as forest resources, which leads to sustainable utilization of forest products. The aim of the study was to evaluate women's participation and empowerment in decision-making regarding the rehabilitation intervention. A total of 120 women households (60 user and 60 non-user women) were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Data were collected using a household survey, focus group discussion and key informant interviews. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between user and non-user women in fetching water and fuelwood collection time. Furthermore, RDL contributes to improving user women's economic status and social relationships such as livelihood opportunity, social network, build-up of trust and changes in social assets. The result also indicated that women able to participate in forest-related meetings, land use management, use and control of assets, decision-making, and in soil and water conservation measures. Further, user women had greater awareness compared to non-users due to participation in different meetings and other decision--making activities. The findings suggest that consideration of women's participation in decision-making regarding the community land rehabilitation program is important to empower women equally with men.

“…While earlier studies have provided important views or information for understanding the gender heterogeneities in the prosocial behaviors, they often pay insufficient attention to the important effects of contextual factors, such as institutional environments/logics (Fernandez & Moldogaziev, 2013; Huluka, 2022; Kennedy & Dzialo, 2015; Vermeeren et al, 2014). This shortcoming in research can prevent us from understanding or explaining more comprehensively the gender heterogeneities in the behaviors (Fernandez & Moldogaziev, 2013; Vermeeren et al, 2014).…”

“…To address this research weakness and to better explain the gender heterogeneities in the pro‐environmental or other prosocial behaviors, many authors today not only examine the effect of gender difference but also consider the institutional environments/logics under which the gender heterogeneities are more likely to be observed (Huluka, 2022; Kennedy & Dzialo, 2015). For example, some of the authors examine the gender heterogeneities in the prosocial behaviors with different institutional pay systems (e.g., Fernandez & Moldogaziev, 2013; Vermeeren et al, 2014), which is also the focus of our current study.…”

“…According to the perspective of institutional theory, social and organization institutions should moderate the relationship between gender and the gender heterogeneities in the pro-environmental or other prosocial behaviors (Al Dabbagh et al, 2016;George et al, 2016;Jeong & Harrison, 2017;Scott, 2001Scott, , 2008Vermeeren et al, 2014). The institutions include gender equality and pay system within organizations (e.g., Fernandez & Moldogaziev, 2013) as well as those at the societal level (House et al, 2004;Huluka, 2022;Kennedy & Dzialo, 2015).…”

We adopt a meta‐analytic approach to study the relationship between gender‐related institutional environments/logics at both organizational level and societal level on the one hand and gender heterogeneities in individual prosocial behaviors on the other. Analyzing data from 138 empirical studies covering 35 countries, we obtain evidence of gender heterogeneity in prosocial behaviors under different gender‐related institutional environments/logics. Our meta‐analysis helps obtain several important findings. For instance, a gender gap in pro‐environmental behaviors is more likely to be observed in societies/countries with low gender egalitarianism with women showing less prosocial behavior than their men counterparts. Moreover, women under the same institutional environments also show significantly more anti‐corruption behaviors than do their men counterparts, while this difference is much smaller (i.e., with smaller effect size) given the institutions of high gender egalitarianism. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of the findings for academic research and managerial practice.
