abstract: 'Project-based organizations (PBOs) in engineering-construction-property
|
|
|
|
industries are persistently among the most male-dominated worldwide,
|
|
|
|
and, as such, are not capitalizing on numerous performance gains derived
|
|
|
|
from diversity. Large Australian PBOs (among others) are required to
|
|
|
|
develop formal gender equality and diversity initiatives (GEDIs) to
|
|
|
|
embrace equality and diversity. Despite comparatively higher numbers of
|
|
|
|
GEDIs in PBOs, women''s representation remains lower than in non-PBOs.
|
|
|
|
Using the lenses of organizational justice theory and inattention
|
|
|
|
theory, this study explored leaders'' GEDI decisions related to the
|
|
|
|
selection and implementation of GEDIs and their ineffectiveness.
|
|
|
|
Quantitative data from 4,841 PBOs and non-PBOs were collected from
|
|
|
|
2018-2019 annual equality progress reports. In-depth quantitative and
|
|
|
|
qualitative data from five PBOs were collected through interviews with
|
|
|
|
senior leaders, organizational documents, and reports. Findings indicate
|
|
|
|
that leaders select GEDIs based on their personal views of justice and
|
|
|
|
individual bias. They focus on meeting legislative and industry
|
|
|
|
requirements rather than on developing a strategic business approach,
|
|
|
|
and appear trapped by their own indifference to the substantive issues
|
|
|
|
of equality and diversity, reinforcing systemic inequalities. We
|
|
|
|
discussed theoretical and research contributions and practical
|
|
|
|
implications.'
