Introduction
Gender inequality is a common issue observed in the corporate sector as well as in the
community. The core agenda of this study is to demonstrate the concept of ‘gendered
workplace’. It is a common phenomenon that affects the organizational structure, process, and
practice. Gender inequality impacts upon the women population of the society. The human
resource practice mostly responsible for enacting the concept of gender inequalities within the
organization. Hence, the HR practice affects the procedure of hiring, training, promotion, and
payment considering the women population. The study is going to describe the reciprocal nature
of gender inequalities within the workplace (RAMAMURTHY, 2017). The issue of gender
inequalities will be demonstrated from the perspective of leadership, strategy, organizational
climate, and the policies of human resource department.
Residing in the twenty first century, the women still are often victimized inequalities
within the organization. As commented by Georggeac & Rattan (2019) modern study needs to
perform some reformative activities to address the gender gap prevailing in this era. According
to McKinsey, the corporate world has not made any remarkable contribution to reduce gender
inequalities within workplace. The research shows that women are always being
underrepresented by the society at every level. There is a drastic difference between the attitude
towards men and women within the corporate industry. On the other hand, researcher Essig &
Soparnot (2019) also mentioned that, women are often face difference in the domain of entry-
level job. The business study reflects that approximately 70 women are promoted within
workplace comparing every 100 men employees.
The concept of equal pay day was originated by the National Committee during the year
1966. The movement was originated with the idea of providing equal payment for each

employees irrespective of gender, class, and creed. Apart from the legal policies, the
organizations must pay attention on some cultural and organizational change to bring equality
and maintain a positive workplace atmosphere. As per the thinking of Kim, Fitzsmons & Kay
(2018) hiring more experienced female personnel and providing justified promotion to them.
According to the statistics of McKinsey, 62 percent of the managerial position are occupied by
male employees. On the other hand, the women employees are holding only 38 percent.
Organizations must include the gender diversity among the workplace as an integral part of the
workplace culture.
Cultural change helps to address the gender inequality prevalent within the workplace.
Workplace culture is a trendy word becoming popular within the recent business study. Kaldev
& Deutsch (2018) mentioned that workplace culture refers to the atmosphere of any particular
organization or the characteristic features of an organization. It is a combination of organization
relationship, tradition, beliefs, communication, values, and the attitude of the employees. An
ideal workplace culture defines gender equality in its true form. It keeps a space for cultivating
employee relationships. Bridging the gap in the domain of gender helps the organization to
maintain a healthy workplace culture throughout the year.
Discussion
As commented by Dashper (2019), there are different feminists who argue the
fact that they are still facing high inequality gaps between the different males in the today’s
scenario around the world in the workplace. The different women have analyzed that they are not
treated like the person with high dignity which deserved respect from different institutions and
laws. As opined by Iida (2018), the people are viewed as well as treated women more as

3MALE AND FEMALE RELATIONSHIP
instruments, producers, agents or the caregivers of the prosperity based on their family.
However, women in the current scenario has been capable of achieving a lot since the year 1950
wherein now, the women have been accepted in the society to certain extent in comparison to the
men.
Creation of the changes in the social along with economic sector created job
opportunities as well as a better life which will be able to make the employees able to share their
viewpoints on different matters. The gender differences mainly occur in different aspects of the
person’s life whether it is the culture, occupation, family or the occupation. Unfortunately, the
gender-based inequality is still a huge problem in the workplace wherein women are treated in an
unfairly manner in the manners in which they are being paid. As opined by Davidson (2016),
women are usually provided with the same role jobs like men, however, there is inequality in the
payment which is provided to them and it impacts their growth prospects negatively. Due to the
same, the morale of the employees is affected negatively and it impacts their performance.
As commented by Iida (2018), discrimination is the form of harassment and it
increased conflict in the work environment. The team related focus shifts from job duties to the
drama of the office. It is fracturing the entire team, wherein with one group siding with person
discriminated against and one side, there is the side of the alleged discriminator. As opined by
Davidson (2016), conflict is impacting the effectiveness in the workplace that impacts the growth
and performance of the employees to a large extent as well. From various surveys, it has been
found that when the conflict increases in the workplace, the employees feel the same and it
permeates company down to the different significant activities which are performed by the
employees. Therefore, due to such kind of inefficiencies, it impacts the effectiveness of the
company and the entire morale of the company gets down.

As commented by Davidson (2016), the women have experienced the historic
situation of the inequality in the social as well as professional aspects which has influenced the
entire society in analyzing which job is considered to be the most suitable for the women and
men.
Conclusion
Therefore, it can be concluded that the discrimination and the gender inequality
need to be reduced from the workplace as both male and female employees play a vital role in
improving effectiveness of the services and perform the tasks in a joint manner. The joint effort
of both male and female employees plays a suitable role in achieving the organizational goals
and become productive in nature.

diverse sexualities via sexual configurations theory. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 44(5),
1177-1213.
The research article is based on the subject of sexual attraction according to the nature of
gender. This article brings forth the concept of Sexual Configuration Theory (SCT) from the
empirical framework to understand the different partnered sexualities. The theory is analyzed
differentiating from solitary sexualities. SCT helps to define the individuality of each gender or
sex.
According to this theory, biological and sociological factors are intertwined
together. This theory throws light on the concept that transgender and the non-binary individuals
were largely being ignored from the research work. To support the argument some evidence
from history can be stated. According to history, gender, intimacy and sexuality is termed as
interdisciplinary group of study. Sexual identities and understanding are incorporated with the
power of relationship. Here, the study argues about extreme power in relationship often results
into sexual violence, harassment, human trafficking and exploitation of sexual relationship. The
most intimate relationships can be demonstrated as traditional conflicting norms about a
woman’s capability of expressing sexual desires.
This study also questions about the term ‘public intimacies’. This study also demonstrates
the process government restructure the ways a man and women experience sexuality, emotion of
love, and the importance of relationship. There are many societies where the majority of women

of autonomy in intimate relationship. Hence, masculinity and femininity possess important role
in the intimate relationship within or without a marriage bond. According to study, the majority
of feminine gender are being dominated by the male one.
Article 5. Fenstermaker, S., & West, C. (2013). Doing gender, doing difference: Inequality,
power, and institutional change. Routledge.
This article develops the traditional understanding of gender and sex. During the 1960s,
the students were provided with distinguished knowledge about the two terms. Sex refers to the
biological domain including the concepts of anatomy, physiology, and hormones. On the other
hand, Gender is the achieved status that is constructed through psychological, cultural, and
communal meaning. To establish the knowledge, the researcher took the example of
hermaphrodites along with the anthropological interrogation about ‘strange yet exotic tribes’.
The purpose of this article is to inform the ethnomethodoogical information to
differentiate the conventional understanding gender as the recurring, methodological, and routine
accomplishment. The researcher consider the ‘doing’ of gender is assumed by women and men
whose capability as supporters of humanity is hostage to its production. Hence, the entire article

women as unequivocally distinct categories.

of gender which is remaining the key indicator of the housework in the different modern society.
The different previous studies have been relevant in adjudicating the different possible
mechanisms which work operate as the individual as well as social interactional level. However,
from the article, it has been found that there is no such difference between the male and female
gender as both of them have the same kind of perception regarding the housework norms which
needs to be performed by them.

female workers in performing the housework aspects. Therefore, from the analysis of the results
which have been generated, it can be concluded that it is the fact that both are equally
responsible for the work family arrangements and it helps them in improving the growth
prospects in the respective area.
