Contribution to Research Blog

This blog is primarily created for the research students. It aims to help the researchers in several ways. For example, it has video lectures in research methodology, research paper writing and APA style guide etc. It provides information on international conferences and provides a list of impact factor journals with their hyper links. Infact, it is focussed on management sciences and social sciences research but in future its scope will be expanded to pure and applied sciences research. In this regard, your cooperation and contribution to this blog will be highly appreciated. If you have any suggestion, any comment or any thing else about research then just share with this blog. Your information will be acknowledged in the blog. 
I would like to thank and acknowledge Mr. Muhammad Shoaib for his contribution to this research blog. Mr Shoaib is an Huygens scholar for master program in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He sent me a mail with a link containing international scholarship guide. I visited that link. It was a great presentation on international scholarship programmes. I decided to post all that information in a separate static page with the title "Scholarships". This is a permanent page and any body can access this page at any time. Any body can share his/her research experience or any kind of research material with this blog.
For contributing to the blog, there are two ways. One is to subscribe to the iqraresearchworld@yahoogroups.com and send e-mail to this mail group. Second is to sign up as a follower and give comments or suggestions. Your suggestions and comments will be incorporated definitely.

The Development of Female Global Managers: The Role of Mentoring and Networking

Abstract of Research Paper: This paper explores the role of mentoring and networking in the career development of global female managers. The paper is based on data collected from interviews with 50 senior female managers. The voices of the female managers illustrate some of the difficulties associated with informal organisational processes, in particular mentoring and networking, which hinder their career development. The findings confirm that female managers can miss out on global appointments because they lack mentors, role models, sponsorship, or access to appropriate networks – all of which are commonly available to their male counterparts. The interviewees suggest that men, as the dominant group, may want to maintain their dominance by excluding women from the informal interactions of mentoring and networking. The findings further suggest that if females had more access to networks and mentors they could be socialised in both the formal and informal norms of the organisation an...

FACTOR ANALYSIS

Factor analysis is a collection of methods used to examine how underlying constructs influence the responses on a number of measured variables. There are basically two types of factor analysis: exploratory and confirmatory. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) attempts to discover the nature of the constructs influencing a set of responses. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) tests whether a specified set of constructs is influencing responses in a predicted way. SPSS only has the capability to perform EFA. CFAs require a program with the ability to perform structural equation modeling, such as LISREL or AMOS. The primary objectives of an EFA are to determine the number of factors influencing a set of measures and the strength of the relationship between each factor and each observed measure. To perform an EFA, you first identify a set of variables that you want to analyze. SPSS will then examine the correlation matrix between those variables to identify those that tend to vary togeth...
