Gender inequality in organizations is a complex phenomenon that
can be seen in organizational structures, processes, and practices.
For women, some of the most harmful gender inequalities are enacted
within human resources (HRs) practices. This is because HR
practices (i.e., policies, decision-making, and their enactment)
affect the hiring, training, pay, and promotion of women.
Gender discrimination in HR-related decision-making and in the
enactment of HR practices stems from gender inequalities in broader
organizational structures, processes, and practices. This includes
leadership, structure, strategy, culture, organizational climate,
as well as HR policies. In addition, organizational decision
makers’ levels of sexism can affect their likelihood of making
gender biased HR-related decisions and/or behaving in a sexist
manner while enacting HR practices. Importantly, institutional
discrimination in organizational structures, processes, and
practices play a pre-eminent role because not only do they affect
HR practices, they also provide a socializing context for
organizational decision makers’ levels of hostile and benevolent
sexism.
