Assessment brief [Module Leader should insert formal statement of the

‘Gender inequality in organisations is a complex phenomenon that can be seen in
organisational structures, processes, and practices' and is often considered to be a 'self
reinforcing system that can perpetuate discrimination’ (Stamarski & Hing, 2015:
1400). Critically evaluate this statement, do you agree?
In your answer you must critically discuss the nature of gender
inequality in contemporary organisations and the current and potential future
work roles of men and women. Your discussion must identify possible strategies
for tackling inequality and evaluate the challenges associated with addressing the issue
of gender equality in the workplace.
