Abstract [en]

The concept of masculinities is used in various ways to describe the behaviors, performances, expectations and construction of ideas of and about men within a given temporal, geographical and social context. Whilst the term masculinity (singular) suggests one dominant norm,  masculinities (plural) indicates that there are different forms and processes. There are several ways of conceptualizing the term. Psychological approaches tend to view masculinities as expressions of individuals’ psyches linked to social norms. Structuralist approaches see them as linked to different configuration of gendered relations within societies whereas constructionist approaches see them as discursive ideals. These approaches are interlinked but how they are studied and theorized differs, depending on researchers’ backgrounds, and all are relevant for understandings of management, managers and managing.
