“…The statements made by the interviewees that women also 'care more' supports this. Studies support this assumption, as women tend to prefer professions and fields of work with an altruistic orientation, but men's and women's values converge over time (Pollmann-Schult 2009), which is on the one hand supported by our empirical findings of men in the more caring professions SM and FGM, but on the other hand, the low proportion of men found in these professions, especially in the field of FGM, speaks against this assumption. Since the focus of the examined professions is thus very much on the-controversially-caring function of this activity, the link to the reproduction of gender stereotypes seems rather obvious.…”

New Management Approaches in Digitized Work as the Cure for Inequality?

Due to the increasing importance of digitization, ICT and engineering sectors are also growing. In these sectors, there are a lot of high-qualified and well-paid jobs. However, despite the growing importance and popularity of digital solutions, one fact (at least) is, unfortunately, still very stable within the ICT and engineering sectors: When it comes to employees, there are still huge differences with respect to gender and gender stereotypes. (Commercial) technology development can be regarded as having masculine connotations both structurally and culturally. Therefore, we address these connotations, especially the roles of androcentric bureaucracy, which could be described as hierarchical, technocentric, and very controlling-oriented, and (the structural possibilities of) self-efficacy. We discuss, conceptually and empirically with a focus on software development, whether new management approaches like agile frameworks and new management roles like Feel-good Managers and Scrum Master could be seen as a cure for inequality or if there are new stereotypical gender-related ascriptions for specific activities or processes.

“…According to Busch-Heizmann [4], one of the useful methods of empirically examining the preferences of job attributes is to look at job values or attributes that individuals rate as important or satisfactory for their work. However, the findings of some national and international studies on gender differences in job attributes are mixed: some confirm a higher value of external job attributes in men (high income) in line with supply side theory [5,6], others do not suggest any gender differences [7,8]. A research article from Spain concludes that women are more job-satisfied than men [9].…”

In our research article, we expect that the job attitudes of men and women should converge, and their declared different preferences for job attributes should decrease. We also expect that the preference for job attributes aimed at comfortable working conditions should be closer between men and women due to the growing balance of men’s and women’s role distribution within the household. Therefore, the main goal of the research, using quantitative research methods and using data from the European Values Study (EVS), is to identify the gender differences, if any, in the preferences for external and internal job attributes across selected EU member states. In particular, we focus on the importance of work for men and women; gender differences in job attributes; the preference for external and internal job attributes; the inclination of gender stereotypes and attitudes toward gender roles division; and the comparison of gender equality and job attribute preference in the selected EU countries. Our conclusions confirmed parallels between gender stereotypes and equality among the Western, Eastern, and Southern EU member states.

“…Zafar (2013: 571) finds that pecuniary aspects of the workplace explain as much as four times of the choice for males than do non-pecuniary aspects whereas for women's choices both aspects are equally important. A number of empirical studies have, however, disappointed high flying hopes for the explanatory power of job values and life goals for occupational sex segregation (Pollmann-Schult, 2009;Ma, 2011;Busch, 2013;Mann and DiPrete, 2013;Morgan et al, 2013). Cech's study (2014) is specifically designed to separate the effects of traditional gender role beliefs from essentialist self-conceptions and demonstrates that the latter predict where men and women are placed in the spectrum of sex-segregated occupations whereas the former have little effect.…”

Preferences, Constraints, and the Process of Sex Segregation in College Majors: A Choice Analysis

The persistence of horizontal sex segregation in higher education continues to puzzle social scientists. To help resolve this puzzle, we analyze a sample of college entrants in Germany with a discrete choice design that allows for social learning from the experiences of others. We make at least two contributions to the state of research. First, we test whether essentialist gender stereotypes affect major selection mostly through internalization or rather as external constraints that high school graduates adapt their behavior to. Empirically, we find that internalized vocational interests better explain gendered major choices than conformance with friends’ and parents’ expectations does. Second, we scrutinize whether segregation results from women’s anticipation of gendered family roles or from their anticipation of sex-based discrimination, but we find no evidence for either of these hypotheses. As in most previous studies, differences in mathematics achievement fail to explain gendered patterns of selection into college majors.
