Gender, Sexuality and Power in Chinese Companies: Affect, Power and Resistance [This chapter examines the power relationship between men and women as well as among women in the office setting. Although men held official and direct power in the organizational hierarchy, women’s indirect power could be more effective in micro-level interactions at work. Women’s capacity to affect is deeply grounded in an organizationally embedded pursuit of harmony and gender as a role-oriented and relational system. However, some women (particularly those with longer service) formed an informal clique which organized regular social activities outside work; the inclusion/exclusion in/from these activities resulted in another segregation among women (based upon local/non-local, urban/rural, employment positions).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter examines the power relationship between men and women as well as among women in the office setting. Although men held official and direct power in the organizational hierarchy, women’s indirect power could be more effective in micro-level interactions at work. Women’s capacity to affect is deeply grounded in an organizationally embedded pursuit of harmony and gender as a role-oriented and relational system. However, some women (particularly those with longer service) formed an informal clique which organized regular social activities outside work; the inclusion/exclusion in/from these activities resulted in another segregation among women (based upon local/non-local, urban/rural, employment positions).]
