Research on the role of organisational context factors in supporting women who either are already in leadership roles or aspire to obtain them is fragmented and spread across multiple disciplines. In this systematic literature review, we identified 87 articles related to organisational context factors and female leadership. We mapped these articles onto the stages of the employee lifecycle: (1) Recruitment and Selection, (2) Learning and Development, (3) Performance Appraisal, and (4) Reward and Retention. Additionally, we introduced the category (5) Organisational Setting to encompass overarching context factors such as industry. For each article, we assessed the underlying assumptions concerning the gender-neutrality or gender-sensitivity in the practical implications. Our analysis revealed that some stages of the employee lifecycle received more attention than others and that the derived practical implications often go far beyond what can be concluded based on the study findings. We discuss theoretical implications and outline future research opportunities, such as the potential for HRM scholars to integrate an intersectionality lens into research along the employee lifecycle.

While work is important for carers' identity and well-being, the increasing complexity of caregiving situations and the often unpredictable needs of care recipients means that working carers may need to informally adjust when, where and how they work. The manner in which this informal flexibility is enacted is not well understood. Using a qualitative research design, this paper provides an insight into employees' experiences of combining work and caregiving and gives voice to working carers and the daily struggles they face. Drawing on the literature on work-family conflict (WFC) theory, signalling theory and flexible working, our research highlights the importance of informal flexibility, and the mediating role of line managers and co-workers in providing access to this flexibility. We identify the enabling mechanisms, or explicit signals of support, through which carer-friendly informal flexibility is enacted, namely: reassurance and pre-emptive support; carer advocacy; and idiosyncratic deal-making (i-deals). We argue that when these enabling mechanisms are in place, WFC is alleviated and attachment to the workforce is facilitated. Where the enabling mechanisms are not accessible, WFC increases and attachment to the workforce is hindered.</p>","PeriodicalId":47916,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Journal","volume":"35 1","pages":"302-318"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1748-8583.12566","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141337374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We did so while controlling for other similar but distinct operationalizations of experience such as span of control (number of ratees per rater) and familiarity with ratees. Furthermore, we employed a multilevel longitudinal design and analysis that allowed us to model rater experience as a time-<i>variant</i> predictor of performance ratings and isolate its effects from both between-rater and organizational context effects.

We use the well-emphasized concept of trust from the voluntary employment voice literature as a foundation for exploring how managerial goodwill translates into employment relations regimes with strict mandatory employee voice elements. We take two cases of strict employee voice systems as our litmus test: Germany and the Netherlands. Through structural equation modeling, we unravel the direct and indirect effects on employee representatives' assessment of employee voice effectiveness, considering factors such as legislation, interpersonal relationships between WoC and management team, and union involvement. Trust is positioned as a central mediator. Utilizing unique survey data from 2014 that includes responses from German and Dutch works councilors, the results indicate that legal information rights alone do not solely promote WoC involvement in both countries. Trust also plays a vital role, demonstrating a direct positive effect on having a say and acting as a mediator for timely information provision, goal sharing, organizational support, unity within the WoC (in the Netherlands), and union involvement (mainly in Germany).
