This work aimed to analyze the influence of stereotypes on discrimination against women. Specifically, it investigated the effects of the candidate gender (man vs. woman), the status regarding parental leave (exercising the right vs. waiving the right), and the stereotypes of competence, sociability, and morality regarding this discrimination. Consistent with previous studies, the candidate gender and the parental leave status interact and together influence discrimination against women (Study 1, F(1, 229)=22.45, p<.001). In turn, the triple interaction of candidate gender, parental leave status, and the three dimensions of stereotypes (Study 2, F4, 587)=2.73, p=.030, ƞ²=.018) revealed that the woman who took parental leave received more positive evaluations in the three stereotypical dimensions, in comparison with to the woman who waived her right to the leave, and, at the same time, she was poorly assessed in the competence dimension, compared to the man who exercises the same right (Study 2, N=312)

“…Prevention of gender inequality is included in the Sustainable Development Goals, and some studies regarding the role of gender in sustainability initiatives and practices [68,69] and gender-related influences on corporate sustainability [70] have been published. Some studies examine workplace gender discrimination, job satisfaction, and personal background influences in the context of sustainable work-life integration [71]. The influence of employees' age and gender on organizational culture and job satisfaction was analyzed by Bellou [72].…”

Gender and Age as Determinants of Job Satisfaction in the Accounting Profession: Evidence from Poland

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

One of the aspects of sustainable social and economic development is providing the public with the opportunity to conduct economic activity. This requires the proper development of information systems, identification of the determinants of performance, and development of the accounting profession. The aim of our study was to assess the sense of job satisfaction and prestige of the accounting profession in Poland, as seen by accountants themselves, depending on factors such as gender, age, and others. The background for the research was a country located in Central and Eastern Europe, which had just been through a political and economic transition. The study used questionnaire surveys and was based on nonparametric statistical methods: Chi-square, U Mann–Whitney, and the Kruskal–Wallis test. Herein, we provided evidence that strong feminization of the profession can be observed in Poland, and that women’s financial satisfaction with their profession was lower than that of men, in small companies as well as in companies without any foreign equity investment. We confirmed that age is more important than gender in differentiating perceived job satisfaction. The findings indicated that the assessment of the accounting profession should be considered when creating legislative solutions for sustainable social and economic development.

“…The study of Plickert and Sterling (2017) shows that work schedules significantly vary by gender, parental role, and experience of workplace discrimination. Although all parents experience types of discrimination, there are still major differences in work schedules between mothers and fathers.…”

This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the issue of gender inequality. The main purpose of the research is to find out gender discrimination issues that occur in workplaces in Armenia and suggest some steps for regulating them. Systematization of literary sources and approaches for solving the problem of gender inequality indicates that there are really problems concerning the selection, pay, promotion, evaluation, and other processes in workplaces depending on the gender of an employee. The relevance of the decision of this scientific problem is that female workers face discrimination more than male. Investigation of the topic proves that even in leadership positions men are promoted more than women. Analysis in the paper is carried out in the following logical sequence: the statistical data available are analyzed, and then a survey is done, which reveals some issues of gender inequality in Armenia. Methodological tools of the research methods were analysis and synthesis of the available data, survey, and statistical methods: cross-tabulation with Pearson Chi-square testing, which proves that there are significant relationships between some factors. The object of the research is the gender inequality issues in Armenia. The paper presents the results of an empirical analysis, which shows that in Armenia women face discrimination in family and workplace, have less opportunities of career promotion, face issues connected with work restrictions, bad attitude, dress code, etc. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the main steps for regulating the issues must be: raising the level of awareness of the people about the subject, making gender equality a component of the educational system, improving public policy, taking more coordinated efforts by non-governmental organizations, etc. The results of the research can be useful for state bodies, labor market, organizations, educational institutions, NGO's, researchers, etc.
