企业人力资源开发中性别歧视的表现形式——基于内容分析的访谈研究

This study focuses on the issue of gender discrimination manifested in the process of human resources development (HRD). A theoretical model is developed based on prior literature. Scenarios of gender discrimination in enterprises are obtained from in-depth interviews. Results of content analysis indicate that gender discrimination in HRD have four forms of manifestation, namely occupational gender segregation, employment gender discrimination, glass ceiling, and gender salary discrimination. Compared with top and middle-level managers, employees can perceive more employment-related gender discrimination and less glass ceiling. There is no significant difference between female and male in the above four manifestations. Compared with other types of enterprises, gender salary discrimination is more likely to happen in private enterprises, and occupational gender segregation and glass ceiling are more prevalent in foreign funded enterprises. It is also found that gender discrimination often occurs at the stage of job arrangement in the process of HRD.

农村土地转入意愿和转出意愿的影响因素分析——基于福建农村的调查

通过对福建农村地区的调查,建立Logistic统计模型,从定量分析的角度探讨影响农村土地流转的相关因素。将农民土地转出意愿与土地转入意愿分别进行回归,探寻影响两种行为的不同因素。同时加入了反映当地自然与经济条件的地区变量,据此得出在统计意义上显著的影响因素。结果发现:影响农民土地转入和转出意愿的影响因素不尽相同:农民在进行转入土地决策时,主要考虑家庭的现实情况以及自身的人力资本状况;而影响土地转出决策的因素主要是农民的思想意识、在非农劳动力市场上的竞争优势及农业与非农岗位的相对可得性。     

微型企业的就业促进作用

河南微型企业在促进就业方面发挥着重要作用,就业人数增长迅速,而且在就业总人数中的比重有所提高,是新增就业机会的主要提供者,而且吸纳劳动力的能力在不断增强。但与沿海经济发达地区相比,河南微型企业在促进就业方面还存在企业数量过少、就业总人数不多、就业人数占就业总人数的比例较低、平均每户微型企业吸收就业能力较弱等突出问题。因此,河南有必要制定专门政策、创造有利的社会环境,促进微型企业的发展。     

Gender differences in the work commitment of Chinese workers: An investigation of two alternative explanations

This study explores the differences in work commitment between Chinese male and female employees. We develop a model that specifies the major antecedents of job and organizational commitment in the Chinese workplace. We then examine whether the gender differences can be attributed to factors related to gender role ideology or unfavorable work conditions encountered by women. Several hypotheses are formulated and tested with a data set collected from 582 employees in Beijing. The findings reveal that employee work commitment is related to organizational support, job characteristics, and perceptions of gender discrimination. Further, it is found that the level of job commitment of women is lower than that of men, whereas the level of organizational commitment is the same for both sexes. The lower level of job commitment of women is due largely to their stronger perception of gender discrimination, receiving less challenging job assignments, and engaging in a low level of leader–member exchange. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.     

Status consumption and ethnicity in Bolivia: evidence from durables ownership

The ‘compensatory consumption’ hypothesis advanced by Caplovitz in 1967 predicts that households facing racial or ethnic discrimination tend to spend heavily on socially visible consumption goods to make up for their low‐status position in society. This paper provides an empirical test of this prediction in Bolivia, where people of indigenous origin face social exclusion. Using recent household survey data, we examine whether low‐income households of indigenous origin overspend on socially visible durable goods relative to equally poor, non‐indigenous households. We find a marked difference in the propensity for compensatory consumption between the two largest indigenous groups in Bolivia.
