“…The built environment disciplines, including real estate, are "maledominated" and lack diversity and inclusion (Soo-Cheen, Sanmargaraja and Soon-Ham, 2020). Research has confirmed that men predominate among real estate students enrolled in Nigerian universities (see Ayodele, 2018;Peter et al, 2017). Oladapo (2017) remarked that from the commencement of the real estate profession in the early 1970s to the present day in Nigeria, there had been a gender disparity in the enrolments of pupillage estate surveyors and valuers and students in all universities offering the course.…”

Workspace inclusivity remain critical in promoting diversity and dynamism across all sectors of the economy. Despite recent progress, gender disparities persist in the real estate sector, including education and training programmes. This study employs a quantitative research design to investigate gender diversity in real estate education at Federal Polytechnic Ede, Nigeria. The study focuses on female students' enrolment in real estate programmes from 2009 to 2022, their experiences, perceptions and career prospects. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 138 out of all the 150 female students currently enrolled in the programmes. The findings indicate that the gender structure of real estate student enrolments is inclusive. Female enrolments have steadily increased and are stable below 50 per cent over the last thirteen years. However, female students face a lack of mentorship opportunities and perceive gender discrimination and bias in the real estate industry. These factors influence female students' self-esteem, motivation, and career opportunities in the real estate industry. This paper contends that the real estate sector must become more diverse. A proactive dedication to inclusivity, mentorship and the willingness to challenge existing norms and biases in the industry is needed to enable women to pursue real estate career.

This study examined the levels of satisfaction of employees with the major focus on the staff of estate surveying firms (ESFs) practicing in Lagos State, Nigeria. This was with a view to identify the factors influencing their levels of job satisfaction and analyze the relationship among the influencing factors. Structured questionnaire were administered to 367 ESFs operating in Lagos State out of which 274 representing 74.66% questionnaire were properly filled, returned and analyzed. The study deployed descriptive statistics such as simple frequency distribution, mean weighted score (MWS), cross tabulation, correlation and one-sample test (t-test). The findings of the study showed that few estate surveyors (17.52%) expressed satisfaction in the job, 39.42% of the employees were completely dissatisfied while 43.07% of them were unsure about their job satisfaction level. The result of cross tabulation showed that, male estate surveyors expressed higher level of dissatisfaction (53.73%) compared to their female counterparts (33.65%) in ESFs. From the MWS result, the respondents rated communication (COM: 4.41), fairness and sufficiency of salary (SAL: 4.23), the quality of relationship with supervisor (RLS: 4.23), fairness of organizational policies (ORG: 4.17), reward for good job performance (RWD: 3.85) and quality of relationship with co-workers (RCW: 3.77) as the dominant influencing factors of job satisfaction. The study also discovered strong positive correlation coefficient between COM and COW (.824), SAL and RWD (.775), RLS and COM (.754). At 5% confidence level, the result of the t-test showed positive contributions of all the influencing factors to employees job satisfaction in estate firms (p<0.05). The study concluded that providing enabling work environment in ESFs should be encouraged for optimal unitization of human and non-human resources. Thus, issues relating to staff welfare should be treated with optimum priority in organizations that desires to achieve efficiency in their operations.
