This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skilled technical occupationsâ€"defined as occupations that require a high level of knowledge in a technical domain but do not require a bachelor's degree for entryâ€"are a key component of the U.S. economy. In response to globalization and advances in science and technology, American firms are demanding workers with greater proficiency in literacy and numeracy, as well as strong interpersonal, technical, and problem-solving skills. However, employer surveys and industry and government reports have raised concerns that the nation may not have an adequate supply of skilled technical workers to achieve its competitiveness and economic growth objectives. In response to the broader need for policy information and advice, Building America's Skilled Technical Workforce examines the coverage, effectiveness, flexibility, and coordination of the policies and various programs that prepare Americans for skilled technical jobs. This report provides action-oriented recommendations for improving the American system of technical education, training, and certification.

Download or read book The Only Constant in HRM Today is Change written by Dianna L. Stone and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this issue of Research Human Resource Management we consider some of the challenges facing organizations today including changes in the population, the increased competition for talent, and the rise in the use of technology. The issue also includes a number of thought-provoking articles that describe strategies for developing sound theories in our field, discuss the consequences of growing diversity in organizations, consider the factors affecting the success of virtual teams, present methods for increasing emotion control for incumbents in emotionally laden jobs, and discuss leadership and performance management in virtual teams. The first article in this issue compares prospect theory to goal setting theory, and highlights the critical elements needed for theory development in our field. A second article reviewed the literature published from 1976 to 2017 in the Academy of Management Review, the primary theoretical journal in management, and identified the factors associated with the most effective theories published over the last forty years. In view of the growing diversity in organizations, the next article provided a ranking of individual attributes that might be viewed as stigmatizing in organizations. The findings revealed that blemishes of character (e.g., criminality, drug addiction) were viewed as most stigmatizing followed by abominations of the body (e.g., paralysis, leg amputation), and the least stigmatizing attributes were tribal stigmas (e.g., ethnicity, religion). The fourth article focuses on a similar topic, and presents an interesting model of the factors thought to influence weight-based bias. Both of these articles have important implications for overcoming unfair discrimination and increasing the inclusion of all individuals in organizations. The next article offers an input-throughput-output model of virtual teams, and reviews the literature on each of the variables thought to influence the success of these teams. Given that many customer service jobs in the new economy involve high levels of emotional labor, the sixth article reviews the strategies that can be used to train employees on emotion regulation in these challenging jobs. The final article suggests that leadership and performance management should be aligned with the new team-centric structure of organizations in order to enhance team and organizational performance. In particular, they maintained that organizations need to adopt positive and relational leadership, and redesign performance appraisals to support the new team processes. They also recommended that organizations discontinue the use of forced distribution performance ranking systems. We are confident that these articles will inspire new ideas among researchers in our field, and foster additional theory and research on these important topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human impacts on the environment are largely driven by economic forces. If a more ecologically sustainable world is to be achieved, significant changes must be made to the current growth- and consumption-dependent economic system. The Frontier Issues in Economic Thought series was designed to assist the growing number of economists and others who are responding to the need for new thinking about economics in the face of environmental and social forces that are reshaping the world.The Changing Nature of Work examines the causes and effects of the rapid transformation of the world of work. It provides concise summaries of the key writings on work and workplace issues, extending the frontiers of labor economics to include the often overlooked social and psychological dimensions of work.The book begins with a foreword by former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich that presents labor in contemporary perspective. An introductory overview provides a brief history of the changing nature of work and situates current problems in the context of longer-term developments. Following that are eight topical sections that feature three- to five-page summaries for each of the ten to twelve most important articles or book chapters on a subject.Sections cover.new directions in labor economics social and psychological dimensions of work and unemployment globalization and labor new technologies and organizational change flexibility and internal labor markets new patterns of industrial relations family, gender, paid and unpaid work difference and diversity in the workplaceThe book provides a roadmap for scholars on the vast and diverse literature concerning labor issues, and affords students a quick overview of that rapidly changing field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.

Download or read book Diverse Working Class Women in Skilled Trades Occupations written by Lynn Judith Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occupational segregation for women entering the skilled trades through union apprenticeship programs continues today. While professional women such as lawyers and doctors are increasing their percentages in formerly nontraditional jobs, tradeswomen represent only 2% of the total skilled workers. This is the identical percentage of women that first entered the skilled trades in 1978. The purpose of this study was to hear the voices of diverse working class women and men who work in the construction industry. Their own experiences and strategies for success were examined to develop a model for success for women entering apprenticeship programs. Women working in the skilled trades (N =141) completed a survey which investigated the social and structural constructs of their experiences as well as race discrimination, sex discrimination and sexual harassment on the job, in the apprenticeship classroom and in the union. Additionally, two focus groups were conducted, one of tradesmen (N = 5) and one of tradeswomen (N = 6). Both quantitative and qualitative (narrative) methodologies were used. Groupings compared included women of color to white women, queer women to straight women, feminists to non-feminists and older women to younger women. Results indicate that successful tradeswomen developed a complex set of survival strategies or skills for success. These strategies primarily revolved around seeking support from other tradeswomen and learning to persevere despite obstacles. The model for success for women in apprenticeship developed in this study contains six progressive stages: initial knowledge, application process, probationary period, middle, completion and leadership/advocacy. Focus group results indicate that women and men who are successful in the skilled trades consider themselves a part of the family of labor. The men identified concerns are with job safety and the opportunity to do high quality work. Women as a group identified as their concerns access and acceptance in the skilled trades. The study also provides a model to create action research for women's success in apprenticeship in nontraditional employment.

Book excerpt: A new book offering a broad overview of the debates about technologies and gender relations at work in a range of occupational areas. Innovative in its approach it deals with gender relations in terms of the ways in which they influence the design and development of technologies, and how gender relations are themselves shaped by technologies. The book will draw heavily on the theoretical perspective looking at the ways in which sexual divisions of labour and gender relations in the workplace profoundly affect the direction and pace of technological change, and tracks the development of certain technologies showing how, through their evolution, they embody these social relations.
