How fairly is the fair - sex treated an agenda for resrarch on managerial women in a male dominatied organization

Abstract

Though Indian women have been joining managerial ranks in growing numbers, little research has been conducted to investigate their problems in the male-dominated world of work. Based on a review of literature, this paper suggests workplace integration, non-availability of mentors, problems of token status, conflict between sex-roles stereotypes and work roles, sexuality and the workplace, evaluation and attribution of women's performance, problems of playing the leader and differential treatment in personnel mattes as some of the issues which need immediate attention of researchers.
