摘要

A heterogeneous group of 371 men and 361 women provided questionnaire data on 23 job reaction and 24 dispositional variables. Analyses revealed 18 significant differences reflecting traditional gender stereotypes. However, almost all the differences disappeared when sex-related differences in perceived job characteristics, age and tenure, level of education, income, and occupational level were controlled. Results are discussed in the context of the small effect sizes typical of sex-of-subject field research and in terms of alternative theoretical models and social-organizational implications. It is concluded that men and women react similarly to the world of work when one controls the spurious effects of systematic differences in the jobs held and rewards received by women in comparison with men-especially differences in income level.
