“…HR managers did not accept this explicitly, but through the experiences of female employees it was evident that male HR managers practice gender bias at workplace in relation to SH issues. This particular finding is consistent with the previous research which explains the link between managerial decisions and gender discrimination at workplace (Weeden et al 2001;Reskin 2000).…”

Despite prior research on the influence of national regulatory and cultural factors on sexual harassment (SH) at the workplace, few studies have examined SH, its impact on victims and redress processes in Muslim majority countries (MMCs) such as Pakistan. This study uses neo-institutional theory to develop a more comprehensive framework to explore SH experienced by women at the workplace in Pakistan. Qualitative methodology is adopted to examine employees' and managers' perceptions of SH. Drawing on interviews with working women and human resource managers in six Pakistani organisations, the study demonstrates that even when there are formal policies designed to prevent SH, cultural factors influence policy implementation. It reveals that there is a tension between traditional culture and behaviour consistent with SH policies in the workplace. The study identifies three major factors which influence SH redressal; these are socio-cultural factors (e.g. female modesty), institutional factors (e.g. inappropriate redress procedures), and managerial expertise/ bias.

“…In addition to the aforementioned selection mechanism, exclusion and social inequality might result from non-intentionally biased cognitive instruments, such as stereotypes (Reskin, 2000). Siniver (2011) showed that immigrant physicians receive lower earnings owing to statistical discrimination in Israel, and Shuval (1995) addressed the negative stereotyping of immigrant physicians' qualifications as a barrier for integration.…”

Previous studies of internal stratification in medicine suggest that nonWhite foreign-trained physicians fill the bottom level of the specialist hierarchy. However, in this study we use administrative registers for majority and nonWestern physicians in Norway and find that non-Western physicians acquire specialisation in the same volume as majority colleagues, are equally likely to enter several of the high prestige specialties and are not delayed in their careers. The equal distribution is discussed as a consequence of strong professional closure, bureaucratisation of hiring procedures and hospital organisation and governmental influence. Identified patterns, however, are not unequivocal. First, immigrant physicians have a significantly higher chance of becoming specialists compared to majority physicians. Second, foreign-educated non-Western physicians have a significantly lower likelihood of specialising in surgery fields. The exception from the overall equality may result from exclusionary practices previously identified in surgery, but it could also result from differences in motivation.
