(Cohen, 2018) | Beneficial for the
organizations | Analysis | It can be beneficial
for the organizations to hire an attractive applicant knowing from a list
that they all are equally qualified such as their facial attraction or even
their facial symmetry may fascinate an employer to hire that specific
candidate under the influence of psychological factor and it is reported that
people with attractive features tend to have less psychological problems and
it is also considered to be the truth that attractive people are considered
more intelligent because of their good personality and this factor leads to
qualifying them to employer's perspective and may attract their work-related
attention. However, the attractiveness factor doesn't always qualify for
positive outcomes as sometimes it leads to a belief that attractive employees
are less productive and cause a counterproductive debate and this is the
reason for which this study evaluates the equal reasoning behind evolutionary
stances | Secondary Source |
(Luxen, 2006) | Implied of personnel
selection criteria | Analysis | It needs to be implied
in all the fields especially of personnel selection criteria because behind
every interviewer there has been a long list of people or interviewers who
had ultimately chosen him to qualify further at the position where he is
today to interview others. Such factors find its usefulness in selection
processes of mainly employee hiring fields in organizations where general
processing is required to construct the unstructured processes to predict the
validity of the outcomes and competitive employees to work efficiently and to
increase reliability. This also explains why usually inexperienced employees
are seen deployed in big organizations for considerable zero experience and
unknown expertise that ultimately challenge the whole quality of work of the
entire organization and judgment should be made on these heuristic factors to
test the evolutionary preferences that the employers keep in mind before
hiring new people. The study aimed to determine one of these factors that
hinders the modern job selection criteria and to advise how attractiveness
shouldn't only be assessed rather than real skills and expertise. | Secondary Source |
(Yogar, 1989) | People are biased towards
their reactions | Analysis | It is reported that
most of the people are biased towards their reactions when they see
good-looking versus normal looking or unattractive people and they can't even
handle their reactions because it is in-built and this study is certainly not
new because it has been human psyche from years and older studies have even
evaluated that people find good whatever they find beautiful but today's
researchers have contributed to this theory and have evaluated the reasons
where and when physical appearance attracts people and how it attracts
people. Even though some employers already know that is not fair to choose
anyone simply based on his looks and not looking for the qualification or
related stuff yet they still like to keep going with that because sometimes
all that matters to them are good looks as they want those employees to stand
at the front line to represent their organization. Unfortunately, more of
the organizations have now started hiring based upon more of informal
characteristics rather than formal factors and evaluations upon which an
employee should be hired such as his competitiveness, his time management,
and his ability to perform tasks, his leadership skills or his performance. A
very informal trait such as physical appearance and looks are now being
judged for an employee to be the part of an organization and to sustain the
overall system of the business to run smoothly. They are being hired mostly
due to referrals and not their ability and caliber for the job description as
mentioned by the organizations. This practice is usually seen in
comparatively smaller organizations where referrals are the only and main
source of getting a person hired and this not only causes disturbance in the
whole system but also causes many challenges for the job seekers who do not
have any referral and all they have got is quality education. | Secondary Source |
(Hatfield, 2010) | Attractiveness will
rather be an advantage | Analysis | So their good looks and
attractiveness will rather be an advantage to the whole firm as it might get
them new and potential clients with prospective long term relationships that
can be beneficial for both the organization as well as the employee who was chosen
on attractiveness. Such behaviour are often considered to be stereotypical as
it is regarded worldwide and is an international issue that employees
shouldn't be chosen on such biases that too related to merely their looks and
not what they can actually do for the company to bring productivity and more
business and it also leads to his or her colleagues as if they are less
attractive or they are ugly among all as this shows clear biases and
preference of one employee over another just because he is more good looking.
Many pieces of evidence have already been found that people perceive
differently these two type of categories i.e., attractive and unattractive. | Secondary Source |
(Toledano, 2013) | People interpret
stereotypic notions | Analysis | The study argued and examined those people who
interpret stereotypic notions of personality as a warranty of qualification
and more of attractiveness as the ultimate beautiful things and judging all
of a man's whole life history just upon finding him beautiful for his looks
and the results were very astonishing as almost all of the participants found
the people with nicer looks to be more qualifies and happier in life while
calling the rest to be unhappy or not so compatible for the job position or
anything big to achieve in life and they called the ones with good looks to
have a more interesting social life and to have more informational content
with their personality and this experiment proved the stance given by previous
studies that what is just beautiful is good and what is not beautiful is bad.
This implication didn't last to older studies rather even with the evolving
technology and all organizational aspects; the HR departments of all
organizations still try to evaluate this notion at the very first sight just
because they want their entire employee to have good looks to have high
representative qualities. Such specifications make the employers also hire
their peers and friends and family as they want their own recognized faces
whom they find attractive to be around them even with them at work and this
creates a whole imbalance in the system as no one deserving gets the
appointed job. This also creates a hollow for fewer salaries for less
attractive people calling them to be less competent while they might be the
most capable of doing all the competent and outstanding work yet because of
not being given a chance, they face such issues in the organizational biased
environment and with such unfair employers who just go for the looks. | Secondary Source |
(Subhani, 2012) | Organizations now
hiring based upon more of informal characteristics | Analysis | This whole unbiased
system created very imbalanced organizational rules and practices that allow
the employers to recruit only the ones with good profiles as well as good
looks and they immediately discard the ones with good potential. This leads
to long imbalance for a long run and creates a hollow for the upset working
of the employees already working for such organizations and the company
rather starts to lose its employees because of such biasness. Men with
attractive profiles and looks get jobs immediately as soon as they apply or
as soon as they appear for interviews as their attractive looks make the
employers hire them without any cross-questioning or without asking them
their true caliber for the job or how they will put their input for the
growth of the organization and just doing this causes unfairness for many
deserving candidates out there | Secondary Source |
(Chiang, 2018) | Unbiased system created
very imbalanced organizational rules | Analysis | Not just organizations, physical looks and attractiveness
is regarded in many fields around the globe and this happened due to frequent
interactions with customers of the employees that make the employers hire
such attractive people so that ultimately the customers get attracted towards
their brand ort company seeing good looking employees
especially in marketing fields where the attractiveness of humans and
products matters a lot for all sectors and the best marketer is considered to
be the one with best creative skills and best implementation by showing appealing and attractive content
including attractive people. This is most valued in service fields where
employee’s attractiveness and appearance matters a lot not just to the
employers but quite a lot to the customers as well as they tend to like
getting served by the best-looking employees such as in hotels and spas, the most appealing factor is how the servicemen
there represent themselves and not just represent but how they look matters a
lot. The productivity of those employees is calculated by the number of
customers they become able to attract and sell their service field to them
and make them invest in the growth of the business. If that employee will not
have an attractive or appealing look then the customer won't even bother
listening to the employee for more than a few minutes and will rather walk
away showing no interest. On the other hand, the employee having good looks
with all his charismatic personality and looks will be able to keep the customer engaged with the demonstration of
qualities and services provided by the organization in the best possible
manner to keep its customers as a priority. The results cleared the whole
concept and interpreted that physical attractiveness does matter a lot in
hiring new employees. | Secondary Source |
Review of Do good looking
men have an advantage in selection?
The literature considered here deals with the researches about good
looking and attractive men and if they have an advantage in selection on the
basis of looks (Cohen, 2018; Luxen, 2006). Hiring attractive applicants could be beneficial for organizations (Toledano, 2013; Chiang, 2018). Often employees
qualify on the basis of personality and appealing look instead of work-related
efforts and knowledge. This factor reduces the effectiveness of modern job
selection criteria (Luxen, 2006; Yogar, 1989; Hatfield,
2010; Subhani, 2012).
Conclusion
of Do good looking men have an advantage in selection?
The aim of the present analysis is to analyze if the selection
criteria regarding selection of employees give an advantage to the good looking
men while the selection process. Additionally, research estimate impact of
selecting good looking men on the organizational environment. Based on the
literature review, it is evident that attract, facial symmetry and looks are
often considered as a plus point while hiring men. The good personality is a
factor but it doesn't always qualify for positive outcomes in the
organizations. The research reported that most often selection criteria is
biased towards good looking versus unattractive candidates. Some of the
organization prefer informal characteristics instead of formal factors. Subhani, (2012) concluded that unbiased system creates
hindrances and imbalanced rules in the organization. The rules and practices
are required to be defined well. While selection, the good potential must be
considered instead of good profiles and good looks. The selected employee must
be of true calibre for the job.

Started to enhance their name
|
Analysis
|
Organizations started to enhance their name in
the industry by introducing workforce diversity but in reality, no such
practice took place initially and companies rather started to avoid diversity
because they used to think that only men can achieve the best in all the
fields whereas this concept was eventually introduced to protect the legal
rights of humans and their demographic traits such as age, gender, ethnicity
and physical abilities. This caused discrimination among the hiring of
individuals based on special gender groups such as preferring men over women
in the organizational sector just to keep the flow of this tradition and not
following the workplace diversity rules and regulations. Companies started
employing the individuals whom they started finding eligible for the job and
mainly preferred men because of the biasness that men have more caliber than
women and the fact that they can understand the workplace commands and can
turn them into actions more strictly than women can.
To identify in my
research is The Women's Rights for better hiring in different organizations.
The Research objective was to ensure that Equality of rights under the law
shall not be denied or abridged by the Organizations or by any State on
account of sex. Federal Society of Journeymen formation, therefore, marked
the start of trade organizations and unions among the American's employees.
Later, in the world revolution, the unions and associations spread to Europe,
India and finally Africa. Local craft unions proliferated in the cities,
publishing lists of prices for their work, defending their trades against
diluted and cheap labour, and, increasingly, demanding a shorter workday.
This research essay will identify various social Research in Organizations and
their impacts on employment and society. Some social Research that has
evolved in America and worldwide brought out quick social and political
changes

Promoted an imbalanced culture
|
Analysis
|
This promoted an imbalanced culture of
dominating men in all the fields and not encouraging women to participate
anywhere in the organization. Whereas, females are now contributing heavily
in the accomplishments of their business organizations of their region with
their presence in all the deserved sectors and fields wherever they have the
competency to work in but it's still very much true that women are treated
with low pay-scale than men and their roles towards families are always
hindered in between their ways to success. Personnel development includes the
development of both men and women and not just men and some organizations
started overruling this factor and focused more on the betterment and growth
of the men working in all the fields. This leads to insecurity and unfair
means of employment and discourages the employees of the opposite gender to
work with less motivation and rather completely de-motivates their energy
into working rightfully for the organization. This study focused on the
non-favoritism of the employees based upon gender and not preferring certain
individuals qualified for the work and this should be considered the most
outpost agenda to promote workplace diversity.

Organizations face
barriers
|
Analysis
|
Businesses who are not
much into recruiting women in their organizations face barriers in reaching
significant levels of management and making their mark in the industry for
what they portray in society and what they do. Even if a woman crosses the
recruitment barriers and get selected by their high qualifications and
rightfully deserving for the job, they are still de-motivated enough to be
suppressed at the ground level for no reasoning but the only fact that they
are women and they can't stand at high ranks with men. This causes patriarchy
and not just that but also very unfair codes of conduct limited to men only.
This also affects the social culture around ourselves where not just in
organizations, women are not being considered that important for valuable
decision-making requirements and they are always being let down for their
importance and their higher commands of knowledge and everyone tries to keep
them at the lower positions in the organization.
However
other unions and organization got incorporated into existing systems or
subjected to harsh repression. Social Research’s brought different policy
responses and their varying impact on the societies in which they occur.
Formation of the campaign had effective significance t protection of freedom
and rights of worker, women, children and the citizens in large. Soon after
the development and expansion of the labour unions, the organizations
employed various tactics to advance the economic interests of bargaining unit
members.
During
such strikes, employees ceased all work and set up sentry lines around seemed
facilities both to advertise their grievances and to disincline fellow
employees or third participants from working during their stoppages. The need
to protect the common interest of workers in the united states caused the
emergence and development of labour movements. The social movements were
developed primarily to fight for better wages, reasonable and considerable
working hours and safer working conditions and fight for the rights and
freedoms of a common citizen. Further, it was the labour movements objective
to led efforts to stop child labour, give health benefits and provide aid to
workers who were injured or retired.

Organization ignore the
fact that women are now contributing
|
Analysis
|
Such organization
ignore the fact that women are now contributing and playing a significant
role in the economy of their states and a woman’s salary is more critical to
the wellbeing of the economy of the country as their spending capacities are
much higher as compared to men and women hold a critical position from a
consumer perspective as well as they are the ones who eventually have to buy
all the stuff either for household or their grooming requirements. It is
noted that women's position in the workforce has increased from one third to
a higher proportion where more women can actively work and take part in all
the fields of work sector without having to fear for not being treated
equally at all levels. This improvement is caused due to the various studies
that contributed to the investigation and this study added more to it by
analyzing all the rightful percentages of women working in different roles of
life. Strikes exercised significant economic pressure on employers that we're
unable to maintain meaningful operations. In rare cases, unions employed even
more dramatic tactics to be sure that services could not continue by taking
over the premises of struck facilities. Giving concern on the effect of
Research on labour, it is observed that the Research protected the employees'
rights and therefore increased demand for work and created more ready labour
market. Tax protesters engage in a broad category of tax evasion strategies
that range from uncomplicated refusal to pay taxes to complicated schemes
using onshore and offshore trusts to challenge income from the government.

laws formulated for an organization
|
Analysis
|
There have been laws formulated for an
organization to entertain equal opportunity for all the sectors they are
working in with equal provision of work without any discrimination based upon
role or even gender. To achieve this, the first and foremost requirement is
the diversification in the workforce of the organizations where equal
opportunity should be granted and such programs should be supported that
promotes all levels of a diverse workforce and helps in fostering such an
environment where all type of people should be respected without any
discrimination. Because the number one unethical practices observed at
organizations include discrimination and then reaching the point of
harassment which ultimately causes disrespectful and discriminated system based
upon race, gender, looks, appearance, page etc.
Females have this emotional instability yet they
prefer not to indulge their emotions in any of their professional fields as
it may cause them difficulty for a longer run to successfully implement their
ideas into actions and hence they implement community-oriented plans and
actions and always come up with ideas that are beneficial for not just one
individual but the whole community. Having more female employees also
promotes and enhances equal stability of law in the organization and make it
even more credible and reliable as the workforce is considered to be
correlated then. Apart from all this, having more women in the workforce also
adds to the achievement of laws and enforcements important for the successful
implication of laws against harassment and it promotes agency laws to
overcome all such issues and the presence of women can even bring out equal
policy provision to all the employees of the workplace with equal
opportunity.

companies try to implement all the best
equipment
|
Analysis
|
Even if companies try to implement all the best
equipment of overcoming this issue to avoid discrimination yet many
organizations still face such issue to a heavy extent where everyone feels
bad about their existence for being a part of such unethical organization.
The best response and solution to overcome such discrimination issues at the
workplace is to repel such intolerant and illegal norms being practised by
the firm and then maintaining your values and not overreacting for any bad
atmosphere to go at its worst as the best way to overcome this unethical
behaviour is to ignore it and not show any interest in it. Employees should
know what to and when to say and to whom it should be said to remove any
ambiguity of work or any unethical practice that may cause further disruption.
Hiring women in the workplaces and other organizational sectors not just adds
to the economic balances of a country's stability but also provides many
advantages and important law enforcements that encourage more and more women
to actively stand for their right and work in the fields of life without
having to face any difficulty in their way to success. Many studies have
conducted experiments to test the reliability of women in challenging sectors
and women have successfully achieved all such as it has been proving that
women or female employees are as competent as their male colleague and they
might even excel them in certain projects and may even execute it way better
than men by perfect modelling and strategical implications and their sharp
mindedness. Females do not always need help in all the fields as they can
carry out their work without the help of anyone to rely on and they have even
strong immunity to stand still on their will and even depending on their
health and immunity, they are much stronger than men.

Review of Why Workplace Should Hire More Women
Initially,
organizations enhanced workforce diversity but it required too much efforts to
implicate the diversity (Blum, 2017; Khan, 2019).
Avoiding diversity and equality in the workforce reduces effectiveness and businesses
that don't focus on hiring women are facing barrier in reaching a significant
level of management (Lovrich,
2006; Johns, 2013).
Considering all these it can be concluded that the workplace should hire more
women and must consider workplace diversity (Sabeen,
2007; Ready, 2015).
Conclusion
of Why Workplace Should Hire More Women
The
main of present work was to analyze the importance of hiring women in the
workplace and how companies can enhance effectiveness in the workplace. The
women's rights of employment are required to be considered while hiring as
equality at the workplace is the basic right of women that cannot be denied.
Females are having a high contribution to business accomplishments and
development in different sectors. Lovrich (2006) conducted research to analyze
the impact of hiring women in organizations. The research concluded that
businesses that don't consider the recruitment of women in organizations face
significant levels of issues in management. Women can cross the recruitment
barriers as they rightfully deserve. Demotivating and suppressing the women
with quality with no reason is against the code of conduct. It can also affect
the social culture of the organization if diversity is not considered.
