dc.description.abstract | This teaching case focuses on appearance and gender discrimination in the workplace.
Previous studies show, for example, that appearance, women’s especially, can be an invisible
mechanism of discrimination and interpreted as a justification for sexual and gender-based
harassment. Prior research also indicates that women suffer from gendered ageism, also
related to looks. However, issues about appearance are seldom analysed from the
perspectives of organizational (mal)practices and women’s career barriers and problems.
This teaching case presents the case of Anna. The case is meant for management and
organization students at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Anna is a well-educated
young professional who is considered a ‘pretty woman’ where she works. Anna wants to
build a career in a field where men have traditionally been the decision-makers. In the case
the following questions are in focus: What are the similarities and differences between
gender discrimination, sexual harassment, professional behaviour and common politeness in
organizational life? How does appearance affect career success? And finally, what are the
consequences of the non-merit-based evaluation of workers and managers? With the help of
this teaching case, students will deepen their knowledge and understanding of gendered
practices related to appearance as a potential source of discrimination and harassment in
career and organizational life in general. Additionally, the relevant outcomes with regard to
both the woman and the organization are of interest. | fi |
