Item Promoting Employee Engagement: Concept Paper for the Development of a Conceptual Framework(Wayamba Journal of Management, 2022) Priyashantha, K.G.; De Alwis, A.C.; Welmilla, I.This study aimed to examine how employee engagement can be increased through the perceived desirability of disruptive Human Resource Management (HRM) technologies where sociological phenomena like gender stereotype change and work realities as work- family conflicts derive lower employee engagement. This study is a literature review in which employee engagement, gender stereotype change, work-family conflicts, and disruptive HRM technologies literature were surveyed and reviewed from two perspectives. Both perspectives developed a conceptual framework that focuses on three impacts. The first is the role of work-family conflicts in mediating the impact of changing gender stereotypes on employee engagement. Second, the perceived desirability of disruptive HRM technologies has a direct impact on increasing employee engagement. The third effect is that the perceived desirability of disruptive HRM technologies has a moderating effect on the impact of work- family conflicts on employee engagement. The paper provides directions for empirical research basedon the predicted impacts.Item Gender stereotypes change outcomes: a systematic literature review(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021) Priyashantha, K.G.; De Alwis, A.C.; Welmilla, I.Purpose Even though researchers have discussed gender stereotype change, only a few studies have specifically projected outcomes or consequences. Hence, the main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of gender stereotype change concerning the different outcomes. Design/methodology/approach In achieving the purpose, the authors searched and reviewed current empirical knowledge on the outcomes of gender stereotype change in the Scopus and EBSCOhost databases from 1970 to 2020. The entire process was conducted through a systematic literature review methodology. The article selection criteria were executed using the PRISMA article selection flowchart steps, and 15 articles were included for the review. Findings The findings reveal that the outcomes from gender stereotype change research can be categorized mainly under the themes of “family and children,” “marriage” and “equality and women's employment.” Research limitations/implications The co-occurrence network visualization map reveals gaps in the existing literature. There may be more possible outcomes relating to the current realities, and more cross-cultural research is needed. Practical implications These outcomes provide some implications for policymakers. Originality/value Even though researchers have discussed gender stereotype change on its various outcomes or consequences, research is less. Hence, this study provides a synthesis of consequences and addresses the gaps in the area.Item The Facets of Gender Stereotypes Change: A Systematic Literature Review(Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka, 2021) Priyashantha, K. G.; De Alwis, A. C.; Welmilla, I.This systematic literature review paper highlights the definitions, dimensions, and various outcomes associated with the changing gender stereotypes. Articles were extracted from Scopus and LENS.ORG databases published during the 1970-2020 period. Initially, we retrieved 215 articles, which was reduced to 60 articles complying with the PRISMA Framework guidelines. The results found that people's attitudes towards adopting the culturally defined social role of the opposite biological sex are ideal for being globally applied. Concerning the dimensions, the most used dimensions are agency and communion. Instead, there are nine dimensions derived from the attitude towards role ascription, attitude towards role conflict, and attitude towards role segregation for each public sphere, private sphere, and the intersection of these two spheres roles found ideal. Depending on the surface nature of gender stereotypes change outcomes found, only a few outcomes are favorable to the economy. There are more negative related outcomes that are in the family, work, and health clusters. Besides, there is a gap in research that gender stereotype change has any associations or impacts on the technology landscape. Thus, the finding implies that future researchers need to consider the areas for finding remedies to overcome these adverse outcomes and make the positive outcomes generated productively and focus more research on untapped areas like the technology landscape. Moreover, the definitions, dimensions, and consequences synthesized in this paper provide insights to build an extended theoretical foundation for gender research of the future.
