ORGANIZATIONAL ETHNOGRAPHY WITH FEMINIST PERSPECTIVE

This study aims at presenting a methodological discussion that might assist researchers in identifying the problems encountered by women in a working life dominated by men. Gender has a long debated and studied theme in organizations. Similarly, the discrimination based on gender differences is still on the agenda of working life and it involves a lot of factors that are worth researching. In this study, the author will present information about a method that might be applied by the researchers studying gender in organizations. 

FEMİNİST BAKIŞ AÇISIYLA ÖRGÜTSEL ETNOGRAFİ

Bu çalışma, erkek egemen çalışma yaşamında konumlanan kadınların, yasadıkları sorunları farklı bir açıdan görmeyi sağlayabilecek bir yöntem tartışması yapmayı amaçlamaktadır. Örgütlerde cinsiyet konusu uzun zamandır tartışılan ve araştırılan bir konu olarak karsımıza çıkmaktadır. Özellikle çalışma yaşamında kadının yaşadığı ayrımcılık uygulamaları varlığını sürdürmekte ve konu bu nedenle sürekli araştırılabilecek birçok unsuru barındırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, özellikle örgütlerde cinsiyet konusuyla uğraşan araştırmacılar için kullanabilecekleri örgütsel etnografi yöntemine yönelik bilgiler verilmeye çalışılacaktır
