“…The human development index (Roser, 2014), gender equality (Inglehart et al ., 2002; Ortenblad et al ., 2017), and the rate of employed women compared to men (Tzannatos, 1999; Elder & Schmidt, 2004) are the indicators that can influence the stated results. Considering the fact that the rate of all these indicators is different around the world, the Middle East and Europe cannot act as a sample model, and we recommend the Middle Eastern and European researchers investigate the effects of these indicators on the prevalence and symptom severity of OCD between males and females.…”

Objective: Coronavirus disease, one of the most disastrous epidemics, has caused a worldwide crisis, and the containment measures applied to decelerate the progression of the pandemic can increase the risk of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Identifying vulnerable groups in this area can lead us to better resource expenditure, and therefore, this systematic review aims to make a comparison between males and females to determine which of the two groups was most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic regarding OCD. Also, a meta-analysis was designed to investigate the prevalence of OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted among three databases (Medline, Scopus, Web of Science) until August 2021 which resulted in 197 articles, and 24 articles met our inclusion criteria. Results: Overall, more than half of the articles stated the role of gender in OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several articles emphasized the role of the female gender, and some others the role of the male gender. The meta-analysis revealed a 41.2% overall prevalence of OCD during the COVID pandemic and 47.1% and 39.1% OCD prevalence for female and male genders respectively. However, the difference between the two genders was not statistically significant. Conclusion: It seems that females are at greater risk of OCD during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following groups, the female gender may have acted as a risk factor: under-18 years students, hospital staff, and the studies in the Middle East. In none of the categories, male gender was clearly identified as a risk factor.

“…There is little consensus over how inclusion is created (Frost & Alidina, 2019; Nishii, 2013) especially when there is a difference of context (Örtenblad et al, 2017; Syed & Ozbilgin, 2019). Shore et al (2018) proposes that top management commitment to compliance, diversity, and inclusion leads to inclusion at work.…”

“…Furthermore, most of the current studies in the D&I domain focus on western contexts (Gerhart & Fang, 2005). For instance, gender equality in the western context is more focused on equal education and pay, while developing countries focus on alleviating low participation rates of women in the formal workforce (Örtenblad et al, 2017; Strachan et al, 2015). This affects how organisations in different contexts design and implement their D&I initiatives because their priorities differ.…”

Organisations are making efforts to enhance diversity and become inclusive, yet there is little agreement on what leads an organisation to become inclusive. This article explores how organisations become inclusive through certain policies, practices, and behaviours. We conducted this study on a multinational subsidiary based in Pakistan with its parent company headquartered in Europe. Single case study methodology was used along with semi-structured interviews to gather in-depth data. Our findings suggest that inclusive organisations and inclusion can be considered relative concepts based on the context. An effort to find standardised policies, practices and behaviours to create inclusive organisations may not be possible. Organisations may be considered inclusive in the context that they operate in. The study strongly demonstrates the need to further refine the concept of inclusive organisations especially in light of societal context. The study serves as a valuable point of discussion in understanding how local operating context is balanced with international transfer of human resource (HR) practices. Our study contributes to diversity and inclusion literature through discussing behavioural and procedural elements that contribute towards building an inclusive workplace in a non-western context.
