englischWith the transformation of industrial societies, gender relations have started to change, and organisations are increasingly under pressure to make progress on equality. So the question arises of whether and to what extent they will continue to remain places which (re-)produce traditional gender norms and structures or whether they will contribute to the transformation of the ‘gender cage’. This book provides current research results and neo-institutionalist approaches in order to explain the reconfiguration of gender distinctions in organisations. In the first part, main neo-institutionalist concepts (such as institution, organisational fields, isomorphism, decoupling) are determined from a gender perspective. The second part focuses on dealing with social equality expectations in for-profit and non-profit organisations and reveals paradoxical developments. This anthology provides new knowledge on the inconsistency of the institution of gender.
