Abstract: While many organisations in male-dominated occupations are investing large resources in order to increase and retain women with the aim of achieving gender balance, responsibility for diversity management on a daily basis relies on line managers. To learn more about the underlying mechanism of line managers’ engagement in managing diversity and, thus, fostering inclusion in such settings, this study proposes and tests a model of male line managers’ experiences and traits on the one hand, and subordinates’ outcomes on the other. In addition, it investigates the role of lateral relationships at a male-dominated workplace. In a field study conducted from 172 pairs of line manager-subordinate dyads at a highly technical and male-dominated research institute in Norway, it was observed that male line managers’ experiences and traits did not relate to female subordinates’ perceived support nor inclusion. Further, the results show that perceived supervisor, but not co-worker, support contributes to female employees’ inclusion, while factors beyond workplace social support and inclusion predict their embeddedness in the job. Hence, the present study indicates that perceptions of line managers’ support are highly important for effective diversity management on the line in male-dominated occupations. Theoretical and practical implications, together with suggestions for future research, are discussed.

Abstract: Carbon neutralization as a way to curb global warming is a matter that occupies a prominent place in the scenario of international law and Brazilian national law. In this context, the way in which the legal system can lead society to contribute to the implementation of carbon neutralization measures proves to be of paramount importance for the legal sciences, which is why this research is justified. Thus, this research aims to study the Foreign Corrupt Practice Acts - FCPA, the North American anti-corruption law, based on the premise that such legislation has foundations capable of, through a process of dynamogenesis, providing practical results for such effectiveness, with the consequent reduction of environmental damage. The investigation was carried out by means of a comparative study, using axiological rationality as the method of approach and, as a procedural method, critical analysis based on the reference system of economic analysis of Law, approached in a relational manner, indicating the efficiency of Law as an inducer of abstaining from harmful conduct to the environment. In the end, it was concluded that the legal application of the fundamentals extracted from the FCPA, having as reference the economic analysis of the law, is able to provide the reduction of environmental damages, through a process of dynamogenesis, capable of resulting in great commitment of the whole society.
