“…Female workers in the mining industry are vulnerable because there are fewer female workers than male workers (Valadares et al, 2022). The forms of challenges in the career development process are family, organizational and social challenges (Ismail & Ibrahim, 2008), which are caused by men playing more of a role as breadwinners, while women are considered to play the role of homemakers and looking after children, apart from having to deal with discrimination in the workplace, sexual harassment, and company policies that are not friendly to women/gender neutral policies (Powell, 1999;Powell & Graves, 2003;Verma, 2018). The work environment is also seen as an obstacle in the career development of women managers, namely negative prejudice from colleagues and superiors, harassment, lack of support from the company, discrimination, and non-transparent promotional practices in companies which cause a gender gap in the mining industry (Botha, 2016;Moalusi & Jones, 2019;Perks & Schulz, 2020;Kansake et al, 2021;Mkhatshwa & Genc, 2022).…”

The increase of women manager each year coexist with the low percentage compared to their male couneterparts caused by the challenges in their career development in the form of glass ceiling phenomenon, resulting in underrepresentative of women in strategic position in minings’s oil and gas company, which is a male dominated industry. This research explores the experiences of 6 women managers’s career advancement by conducting an in-depth interview. Using thematic analysis, this research found that women managers in oil and gas encounter challenges from their personal life and external matters, receive support from their partners and external side, and implement strategy relating to oneself and their external environment. This research also found the views regarding the figure of professional female workers in the mining industry are seen as the basis for female worker to compete in this industry. This research fills the gap in literature which discusses glass ceiling in male dominated industry, specifically in the perspective of women managers and their experience in career development process. The findings could serve as reference for employer in order to create gender-friendly and gender-neutral policy and to open many other possibilities for women in order to have an equal opportunity to serve in strategic positions.

The establishment of community corrections in China marks a restructuring of the Chinese penal field and a possibly differentiated arrangement of penal power. Social forces and community actors are now enabled and encouraged to participate in penal affairs and to share devolutionary penal power with the authoritarian state. Yet little research attention has been allotted to examine how these burgeoning social organizations, professional service providers, and community actors manage their participation in rehabilitative work and negotiate their rehabilitative aspirations with state ideologies and policy mandates as they work within Chinese community corrections (CCC). Drawing on observational data and in-depth interviews with social workers within CCC, we show the ways in which social workers actively create strategies to pursue their professional values of service and implement rehabilitative ideals and caring ethos while, at the same time, minimizing the risk of challenging state authority and jeopardizing penal policy priorities. Three devised approaches are presented, and their implications are discussed.

From research to practice: Research-based Intervention Development in social work: developing practice through cooperative knowledge production

There is a widespread consensus in social work that social work practice should be based on research. However, conceptualising how research and practice are interrelated is still evolving and a subject for debate. With little exception, existing concepts and models almost invariably fail to include explicit development processes. In contrast, Researchbased Intervention Development conceptualises the interrelation between research and practice in terms of development processes that bridge research and professional action. This essay first outlines Research-based Intervention Development. This concept has been designed to establish a procedure that guides the working process from the findings of scientific research to new social work interventions. It foregrounds development work, and places a so-called Practice Optimisation Cycle at the centre of the model. Then, Correspondence to: Daniel Gredig, University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, School of Social Work, Riggenbachstrasse 16, CH-4600 Olten, Switzerland. Tel.: '41 (0)62 311 96 76; Fax: '41 (0)62 311 96 21.secondly, an illustrative example of a Practice-Optimisation-Cycle process is presented together with an initial evaluation of this procedure.In der Sozialen Arbeit besteht inzwischen ein Konsens, dass sich professionelles Handeln auf wissenschaftliches Wissen und insbesondere auf sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse abstützen soll. Die Diskussion über eine angemessene konzeptionelle Fassung des Verhältnisses von Forschung und Praxis ist hingegen nicht abgeschlossen. Ein Blick auf die vorliegenden Konzeptionen und Modelle der Vermittlung von Forschung und Praxis lässt deutlich werden, dass diese bis auf wenige Ausnahmen keine Prozesse der Entwicklung vorsehen. Im Gegensatz hierzu räumt das Modell der Forschungsbasierten Interventionsentwicklung kooperativen Entwicklungsprozessen bei der Verbindung von Forschung und Praxis eine tragende Rolle ein. Kern dieses Verfahrens stellt der PraxisOptimierungs-Zyklus dar. Dieser Beitrag wird das Modell der Forschungsbasierten Interventionsentwicklung beschrieben und die Erfahrungen aus einem Projekt vorstellen, bei dem ein Praxis-Optimierungs-Zyklus implementiert und evaluiert wurde.
