The Sexuality of Organization

A critical text on the pervasiveness and power of sexuality in the ongoing production and reproduction of organizations and organizational life. The 12 contributors, researchers in Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA, present the latest empirical evidence and theoretical thinking. The book argues for the central importance of the relationship of sexuality, power and organizational dynamics. Some chapters provide up to date literature reviews on sexuality and organization, others study particular organizations or the individuals within them. Specific issues discussed include the relevance and limitations of organization theory, gender, sexuality and ethnicity, the public and the private, sexual harassment, men's sexuality, lesbians in organizations, women managers and secretaries.
