issues and regarding management theories along with approaches widely familiar within
business management. All of them contributes to research for improving management
perspectives and while they might allow diverse perspectives, they usually belong to business
communications and human behaviour. Though useful in their own manner, gender relations

discrimination takes place in organisations along with finding its impact on employees’
performance. To analyse how women are discriminated at workplaces, the paper collected
data via questionnaire and by conducting in-depth interview from randomly selected
employees of private educational schools. This article can prove highly significant for its
intended audience, majorly male and female employees in schools and colleges as the author
pinpoints on significant differences seen in work performance of female and male employees

Abbassi, & Ujan, 2011) as the author reflects majorly upon selection and promotion of
females and that discrimination takes place due to female behaviour along with working less
as they do not carry any responsibility for any kind of financial responsibility. This research
work can further assist in making close comparison of female behaviour thereby illuminating
this annotated bibliography to great extent.
