Gender, network recall, and structural holes

Women tend to remember social connections better than men, thanks to a mental shortcut called the closure schema.
This strategy, shaped by socialization, works best in cohesive networks.
It’s not biological, but socially constructed.
This helps explain why women are underrepresented in network broker roles.
Managers should consider these biases to better train and value all talents.

Mots clés
  • closure schema, cognitive biases, gender differences, link perception, managerial implication, network brokers, network structure, professional networks, social memory, socialization

Is there more to sustainability than shopping wisely?

Sustainability depends less on consumer choices and more on how supply chains are structured. Research on Brazil’s beef sector shows that, despite the BRSL initiative to improve sustainability, results fell short. Four types of distance geographical, organizational, cultural, and relational hindered collaboration. These gaps created communication problems and weakened trust among stakeholders. Real progress requires external mediators, such as governments or NGOs, to reconnect the entire supply chain.

Italy’s Waste Crisis: How the Mafia Turned Trash into Tragedy

Pendant plus de 40 ans, une mauvaise gestion des déchets en Italie a permis à la Mafia de les éliminer illégalement, provoquant une crise sanitaire majeure et des taux de cancer en hausse. Malgré les interventions tardives de l’État, les choix économiques ont souvent prévalu sur la protection de l’environnement et des populations. Cette crise révèle que la gestion des déchets est avant tout une question de pouvoir et de justice sociale, touchant de manière inégale les communautés.

What is disability at work?

Pourquoi parler du handicap au travail ? Le handicap concerne 30% de la population, souvent invisible et peu abordé.

Découvrez pourquoi chaque effort compte pour créer un environnement de travail plus juste et accueillant.

What does gender equality in organizations really mean?

Gender equality goes beyond numbers it’s about inclusion. While laws like Copé-Zimmermann have increased women’s representation, true equality means ensuring their voices influence decisions and their contributions are valued. Intersectionality shows that barriers are often compounded by factors like ethnicity or age. The real transition is moving from diversity to inclusion creating cultures where every voice counts and equality drives innovation and resilience.
