Description
Summary:Accumulated research suggests that there are systematic sex differences in occupationally relevant attitudes and behaviour, (for a review see Fitzgerald and Crites, 1980). At the same time, studies comparing men and women within occupations, show them to be very similar in a wide range of role relevant variables. For example, when occupation was held constant, no significant sex differences were found in job satisfaction, motivation to work, job involvement, job outcome preferences, leader behaviour, communication style and perceived abilities (for a review see Donnell and Hall, 1980; also Birsdall, 1980; Kaufman and Feathers, 1980).
