...views that sociologists hold regarding the equality of the division of labour in couples and power relationships in modern life. Some sociologists such as march of progress sociologists see greater trends towards equality whilst other sociologists such as feminists believe there is a lot of changes both in the public sphere and private sphere that need to take place before the division of labour, and the hold of power in couples can become equal in modern life. Functionalist sociologists Young and Willmott developed a theory in the 1970s called the symmetrical family. The symmetrical family described a family life which was improving for all of its members, becoming more equal and becoming more democratic. Young and Willmott argue that there has been long-term trend away from segregated conjugal roles and towards joint conjugal roles and the symmetrical family. Segregated and joint conjugal roles are distinguished between by sociologist Elizabeth Bott. Segregated conjugal roles resemble Talcott Parsons’ instrumental and expressive role theory, in which a couple have separate allocated roles such as the male being a breadwinner and the female a homemaker. Joint conjugal roles are where the couple share tasks such as housework and childcare and spend their leisure time together. Thus, Young and Willmott’s symmetrical family would support the argument that the division of labour in couples is now growing increasingly equal, and the argument that the hold of power is...

Corporate re-structuring Re-organization resulting from acquisitions, mergers & divestiture has a significant bearing on organizational levels. Employees face anxiety & uncertainty about their places. Changes take place in status, career progress & corporate culture. These mergers & acquisitions are likely to accelerate in future. Internal re-structuring is also gaining momentum as corporate down size & flattens themselves to meet increasing competition from multinationals. As layers get trimmed work load increases & promotional opportunities are reduced. 3. Changing workforce The percentage of women & minorities in workforce is increasing. Steady increase in the no of white collar employees& increasing education level are other demographic changes in workforce.

We conclude with recommendations for practice. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Introduction T he last two decades of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first saw a significant rise in cross-border international business activity, driven by globalization and the domination of multinational corporations (MNCs): of the 100 largest economies in the world, some 30 are MNCs (Frenkel, 2006). International mobility has emerged in that context as a key competitive differentia- tor of organizational success in the global economy.

...Running Head: Career Development Plan Part III Career Development Plan Part III Curtis Haroldson HRM/531 University of Phoenix February 6th 2011 Dr. Pat FitzGerald Feedback: Important to the evaluation of an employee is the preparation for effective feedback and should include notes or specific details important to the review. If there are complaints to discus, issues about behavior, or performance, schedule enough time to review each subject thoroughly. As this is taking place the employee has enough time to prepare and be comfortable with the meeting. The next important factor in the feedback process is to ask the employee for an interview. Asking shows respect and gives an opportunity for the employee to consider if he or she wants to listen. If the employee decides not to listen another approach must be taken to ensure that the task is completed. Although many managers find the process of feedback distasteful, it is the responsibility...

...Executive Summary Men and women are entering the labor force in equal numbers but the majority of top management positions still belong to men. More women than ever are entering the labor force but the majority of top management positions in almost all countries are primarily held by men. Female managers tend to be concentrated in lower management positions and hold less authority than men. This suggests that something beyond just sex differences in career patterns must be at work to account for the huge difference in the number of men versus women in top management positions. Although women as a whole may place less emphasis on career success than men, there are a considerable amount of women who strive for top management positions and are unable to attain them. In a recent study almost three-fourths of women and two-thirds of men believe that an invisible barrier (a glass ceiling) prevents women from attaining top management positions. In this report we have tried to find out the barriers causing women advancement in organizational top levels referred to as “Glass Ceiling.” We have conducted our research among some of the top level organizations which are United International University (UIU), MERCANTILE BANK Limited (MBL), Islamic Bank Limited (IBL), and Mutual Trust Bank Limited (MTBL). Without their support we couldn’t have completed this report. Here we have conducted research about some of the factors which correspondents have identified as the major factors. The...

...Parent trap is actually one of the first Disney films I ever saw that was not an animation. It came out in 1998 as a remake of the 1961 Disney classic. I was 12 years old when I saw it so I was probably the target audience of this rather typical Disney film. However, it is a more family-oriented film than other Disney creations that are usually more children-focused. It is a decent movie for a family to lightly watch although the plot is rather unrealistic, to say the least, and childish at times. It is considered as Lindsay Lohan’s debut movie, managing to pull off dual roles as both of the identical twins. They could have gotten real twins for the roles of the girls, since Lindsay Lohan wasn't a box office attraction (at this point in her career), but the movie would not necessarily been better in my opinion. The viewer could honestly not tell there really were two Lohans whenever “they” appeared on screen together, thumbs up to the visual effects department. Combined with appearances of body doubles at times and timed reaction shots, it can be confusing for younger audiences to believe that it was only one actress. We also cannot overlook how Lindsay Lohan did an excellent job of portraying these seemingly identical yet very different girls. The characteristics of the girls and the situation going on in the film (girls pretending to be each other and going back as the other to their parents) gave the young actress a challenge as to whether she could adapt to such an in-depth...

...ANSWER 1. Describe the nature and causes of the problem faced by Samad. The nature that faced by Samad is a lack of career planning and development from past management that causes high turnover among electrical engineers engineers in the company that his work. Turnover means that the rate at which an employer gains and loses their employees. High turnover may be harmful to a company's productivity if skilled workers are often leaving and the worker population contains a high percentage of new workers. The causes are the electrical engineers felt no ladder up in the job that in technical of engineering aspects, and there is no career development. To be a successful company, the organization itself must have the ability to attract and retain highly skilled employees. So, that organization must be able to compare between what employees want and what employers are willing to give. This participatory approach to human resources and the perception of a common understanding among human resources managers and executives offer benefits through flexible and innovative care of their employees. In addition, Samad found in the area of wage surveys, Electronic Applications are paid 5 to 8 percent above the market for various categories of electrical engineers and do not do anything about that based on the informal exit interview system or in others word, higher position for the engineers after working so many years and the junior and younger engineers have gone to the competitors.

...additional challenges for human resource management organizations. Containing Human Resource Costs During Economic Challenges The current economy brings challenges to every level of a corporation, including human resource management. Maintaining an effective budget is not always easy and becomes even more difficult with the strains of an economic crisis. While the elimination of unnecessary materials and or processes may help in curtailing costs and spending, it is not always an easy task; and an even more difficult task involves the elimination of actual jobs. As companies are faced with having to cut costs, eliminating jobs is sometimes an unfortunate solution. Human resources management is defined as the process of managing human talent to achieve an organization's objectives (Bohlander & Snell, 2010). Being able to effectively execute the process of human resources management relies on several factors. Being able to compete, recruit and staff globally; embrace new technology; manage change; manage talent; respond to the market and contain costs are imperative to a successful human resources management organization In today's challenging economy, containing costs can be a challenge for even the largest of companies and understandably so, can seem impossible for smaller companies. There are several options companies may consider in regards to containing costs. Downsizing and outsourcing are both common options used by companies in an attempt to...
