“…In Malaysian context, men are supposed to be more involved in traditionally masculine household activities (i.e., home repairs and family administration) and women are expected to be more involved in traditionally female household chores, according to traditional gender norms (i.e., childcare or shopping). As a result, these findings confirm that as men's feeling of masculinity declines, they are more likely to participate in domestic duties and contribute more to housework (Endut et al, 2020) From a patriarchal viewpoint, the idea that men and women are diametrically opposed has been reinforced. For instance, females have always been linked with the body (e.g., sexuality, childbirth, emotionality), whereas males have always been associated with the mind (e.g., intellect and rationality) (as cited in Cornish et al, 2010).…”

Malaysia is a country with a diversified cultural background, ethnicities, and religions. Islam is the most widely practiced religion, followed by Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, other traditional Chinese religions, as well as other indigenous religions. Despite the richness of the cultural landscape, the counseling services in Malaysia seem to be very limited in terms of diversification of multiculturalism. Cultural relevance of counselling theories, adaptation of Western-trained counseling services to suit a Malaysian culture, and multicultural counseling competencies, are among the concerns in the profession. This paper focuses on factors that shape a counselor’s identity based on their cultural background, and its implications on multicultural counseling in Malaysia. Among the important factors highlighted in this paper are religious beliefs and values, locus of control, gender, and personality. This paper encapsulates the importance of understanding a counselor’s cultural identity for the effectiveness of multicultural counseling in Malaysia.

“…Gender rules, norms, and values play an essential role in understanding the gender's standings and position in society (Endut et al, 2020). During the process of socializing and interaction within a society, gender creates its individualistic identity (Endut et al, 2020). As this identity and norms of gender are dynamic, so they keep on developing and changing their shape with the passage of time and space throughout their life (Endut et al, 2020).…”

“…The survey was conducted to examine the proposed model that aims to explore the effects, impacts, challenges, and issues of stress female professionals face while working in a maledominated profession of Pakistan and Malaysia. The measurement of (DAGCE) & (FMDP) combined units of the proposed structural model were adopted from Eagly and Karau (2002); Shabbir et al (2017), Sharif (2015), Endut et al (2020), and Amir et al (2018). These units address discriminatory acts, practices, glass-ceiling effects, and impacts.…”

This study investigates the perceptions of gender role conflict, prejudice practices, office stress, and their impact on female professionals working in male-dominated professions. The paper's concepts and contexts are grounded on the role of congruity theory and transactional theories of stress. A survey was conducted in different institutions of Pakistan and Malaysia. A conceptual model was then developed on five crucial hypotheses on broad-ranging literature analyses using statistical analyses and structural equation modeling with Smart-Partial Least Square (PLS). The findings reveal that females find it difficult to seek the top executive positions as assertive and decisive behaviors in them are seen as obligatory traits. Moreover, the personal experiences of females working in different male-dominant professions in both countries related to discriminatory practices, office stress, role, work-family conflicts are somewhat similar. However, the ways, approaches, and intensity of those experiences are different. Therefore, it is recommended that radical changes be required in terms of stereotypical behavior, psychological and social belief systems for genders to mitigate and replace the old thumb rule concepts.
