  • disruptive decisions to leave home Gender and Family differences in expatriation choices
    Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 2008
    Co-Authors: Phyllis Tharenou
    Abstract:

    I developed a theoretical model predicting how Gender and Family status would influence employee willingness to expatriate, international job search behavior, and expatriation decisions and tested the model in a longitudinal investigation. Australian employees comprising 230 females and 401 males with partners and/or children and 208 female and male childless singles were surveyed three times over three years. Employees who had greater personal agency and less Family barriers were more willing to expatriate, to search for international jobs, and to eventually leave their home countries. Having a Family restricted females' ability to transform their willingness to expatriate into an international job search to a greater extent than it did males'. In turn, international job search predicted actual expatriation for a job. Overall, the expatriation interests of women with partners and/or children were least realized (most inhibited) in international job search and subsequent expatriation behavior. The interests of childless single employees were most realized. The study challenges current thinking on women's willingness to expatriate by demonstrating that women are willing to expatriate, but Family factors lead to women being less able to transform their willingness into an international job search than men, subsequently flowing on to women expatriating less for work than men.

  • Gender and Family caregiving at the end of life in the context of old age a systematic review
    Palliative Medicine, 2016
    Co-Authors: Tessa Morgan, Lisa Williams, Gabriella Trussardi, Merryn Gott
    Abstract:

    Background:As societies age and governments attempt to manage within constrained health budgets by moving care into community settings, women will be called upon to provide more palliative care in old age. However, little is known about Gendered disparities for caregivers of people over the age of 65 years.Aim:To identify and synthesise the empirical literature between 1994 and 2014 that focusses on Gender and Family caregiving for people over the age of 65 years with a life-limiting illness.Design:Systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Supplemental review using a novel feminist quality appraisal framework.Data sources:Search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts and Gender Studies to find empirical studies on Gender and Family caregiving at end-of-life in the context of old age.Results:Of 19 studies identified, 9 presented thorough Gender analyses.

  • the individual and joint effects of race Gender and Family status on juvenile justice decision making
    Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency, 2003
    Co-Authors: Michael J Leiber, Kristin Y Mack
    Abstract:

    Relying on interpretations of the symbolic threat thesis as a theoretical framework, in particular the emphasis on the perceptions of decision-makers and stereotyping, the authors examine the extent to which the effects of race on youth justice outcomes are influenced by Gender and Family status. They are especially interested in the individual and joint effects among the three. Although some studies in the adult literature have examined these variables, research on the influence of race, Gender, and Family status on juvenile justice decision-making is lacking. The inquiry is on four juvenile court jurisdictions in Iowa. The results from logistic regressions indicate that being African American affects justice outcomes, outcomes for Whites are conditioned by Gender and Family status, and decision-making should be viewed as a process involving both severe and lenient outcomes.
