Connective leadership: female leadership styles in the 21st-century workplace

Article Abstract:

Connective leadership employs the direct, relational and instrumental achieving styles to connect individuals to the goals and tasks of others as well as their own. The traditional male-model of achievement only employs the direct style and is not suited to the demands of leadership to be found in the interdependent world of the 21st century. The relational and instrumental styles which are found in the more traditional female occupations lend connective leadership the ability to unite individuals and groups rather than to set them apart competitively.

The future of women and work: ending the twentieth century

Article Abstract:

Changes in the global economy toward increasing international markets and competition have effects in the US and, particularly, on women workers. These changes have come about under the aegis of 'free enterprise,' but the effects on US working woman resemble 19th-century hegemonic masculinity. The wage gap between men and women has been decreasing and the proportion of low-wage jobs increasing. The prospects for continued recession in the US are high, and working women will probably feel the impact of this toward the end of the 20th-century.

From Americanization to Multiculturalism: political symbols and struggles for cultural diversity in twentieth-century American race relations

Article Abstract:

Contemporary debates on multiculturalism in the US society have largely focused on culture wars and led to numerous forecasts about the significance of culture conflicts for US race/ethnic relations. An analysis was therefore conducted to investigate the argument that the importance of cultural diversity for race/ethnic relations is essentially influenced by the context in which such debates occur. Results and implications of the study are discussed.
