“…As a result, the unconscious and psychoanalysis are seen to be intricately intertwined (Sarijaloo & Kiaei, 2016). Ahmed and Rajput (2020) published a research titled Psychoanalysis of Female Protagonist in Kamala Markandya's Novel. The two researchers uncover the main character's underlying flaw that, even if she has won the world on the outside, but she is still shallow on the inside.…”

The study aims to explore the impact of gender oppression on the psyche of female characters in the context of the novel “The Pakistani Bride”. Hence, the main objective of this study is to investigate what sort of gender roles are assigned to the female characters in this novel what type of sufferings they are going through in terms of the fulfilment of those assigned roles which ultimately push them into an impulsive and neurotic state of mind. Freud (2016) psychoanalytic model has been applied as the theoretical framework of this study along with (Beauvoir, 1949) feministic approach. However, a particular sample of paragraphs from the particular novel has been drawn by applying the purposive sampling technique. The findings revealed that in the novel The Pakistani Bride, the female characters are being oppressed by patriarchal constraints and have no right to speak. They are being perceived as subordinates, others, and minor species and have been pushed to the periphery of society by male supremacy in nearly every aspect of human existence. The findings also asserted that the inability of women to speak for themselves is a result of patriarchal oppression and gendered roles that have driven women to suppress their urges and become neurotic.

PurposeFemale managers have numerous vulnerabilities related to their reputation and career progression in addition to social, sexual and discriminatory vulnerabilities. In organizational settings, antagonized subordinates, peers or superiors can exploit their vulnerabilities through negative use of social media. For optimal performance and inclusion in organizational activities, it is essential to protect female managers against exploitation. Social media can be used for this purpose and dictates an investigation into it as an agent to reduce vulnerabilities and enhance inclusion of female managers.Design/methodology/approachQualitative data collected through 25 in-depth semi-structured interviews from respondents belonging to five different organizations has been used in this exploratory study. Thematic analysis was done to reach the underlying structures of subjective responses of female managers.FindingsThis study finds that positive use of social media is effective in reducing vulnerabilities and female managers feel more included and protected against exploitation in inclusive organizations. The study presents a holistic view of vulnerabilities of female managers, various forms taken by negative use of social media, mechanics of positive use of social media and pathways to inclusive organization through reduction of vulnerabilities.Research limitations/implicationsAvailability of limited time, resources and a single cultural context were few limitations. The study highlights an important area for further research indicating psychological trauma of victimized female managers forcing them to feel excluded from the organization.Practical implicationsThis study will enhance understanding of practitioners about vulnerabilities of female managers and its likely accentuation through negative use of social media. In addition, they can learn the use of social media for reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing inclusion of female managers. This study also shed light on methodology to handle the situation in the face of all forms of negative use of social media.Social implicationsFemale managers are highly vulnerable to exploitation through use of social media by antagonized groups and individuals who can easily attack their reputation and image. This study is an effort to reduce vulnerabilities of business women. Additionally, it is also aimed at enhancing inclusion of females in organizational activities to counter their isolation and discrimination on the basis of gender.Originality/valueThe issue of negative use of social media has not received attention of scholars. Being a research gap, exploratory study based on qualitative responses has been conducted to explore different facets of the issue. In-depth interviews have been conducted to collect primary data.

“…Authors in [48], discussed the use of the Internet as a medium for crowdsourcing and discussed four significant challenges that included how to recruit, measure their abilities, maintain quality of the work and more importantly how to integrate the work performed. The work done in [49,50] uses the same concept to predict the socioeconomic status (SES), while the work done in [51] addresses the problem of female bullying at work. The work done in [18] uses a similar technique to detect depression but the work is more focused on building corpus.…”

Social media, traditionally reserved for social exchanges on the Internet, has been increasingly used by researchers to gain insight into different facets of human life. Unemployment is an area that has gained attention by researchers in various fields. Medical practitioners especially in the area of mental health have traditionally monitored the effects of involuntary unemployment with great interest. The question we want to address is as follows: while many researchers have been using data from social media and microblogging sites in the past few years, do they provide results consistent with traditional research? Furthermore, if the data are indeed consistent, are they detailed enough to deduce possible reasons and remedies? We believe that having a concise answer to these questions is imperative for a sustainable mechanism for medical practitioners and researchers to gather and analyze data. The stigma of mental health prevents a good portion of society from seeking help, but the anonymity provided by the Internet could shatter such barriers, thus allowing people affected by conditions such as mental health and unemployment to express themselves freely. In this work, we compare the feedback gathered from social media using crowdsourcing techniques to results obtained prior to the advent of social media and microblogging. We find that the results are consistent in terms of (1) financial strain being the biggest stressor and concern, (2) the onslaught of depression being typical and (3) possible interventions, including reemployment and support from friends and family, playing a crucial role in minimizing the effects of involuntary unemployment. Lastly, we could not find enough evidence to study effects on physical health and somatization in this work.
