“…This means, writing practice and context are the main variables that affect EFL learners' coherence development in written texts (Carli, 1999;Carothers & Allen, 1999). This reason might stand behind the favorability of female graduates revealed in this study rather than their gender.…”

However, many studies (e.g., Carli, 1999;Carothers & Allen, 1999;Lamude, 1993) showed that language use differences are not attributed to gender differences but to contexts.

Writing is an essential skill for EFL learners to be able to communicate effectively. Achieving effective communication is condemned by the degree of developing text coherence. Reviewing the related literature shows that coherence, unlike other text features, posits a significant problem with L2 learners, males and females. Due to biological and cultural differences between males and females, both sexes may bring variety to coherence development in text writing. This case has not received a due account in discourse analysis studies, creating a gap in the literature. Accordingly, the present study aimed to identify the level of coherence in L2 written texts from a gender perspective. To achieve the objectives of the study, all 40 graduates of English, 20 males, and 20 females, Faculty of Education, Ibb University, Yemen, in the academic year 2019 – 2020, participated in this study. A writing test was used as a research tool to collect the required data. Using both descriptive and inferential research approaches, a number of findings were revealed. The most important ones are: there was a lack of coherence in both males' and females' written texts (M = 15.45/30, SD = 4.56); and there were no statistically significant differences between the mean score of male and female graduates (M = 16.10 > 14.80 <, SD = 4.96 > 4.14 , t = - 0.90, P > 0.05) attributed to the variable of gender. Based on the findings of the study, a number of pedagogical implications were introduced; most notably, policymakers, course designers, and teachers should pay ample attention to the contents of writing courses focusing on text coherence to sensitize EFL learners to such a text feature to be able to produce coherent texts.

“…It is also crucial to highlight that earlier studies investigate the intersection of gender and influence tactics (e.g. inspirational appeal, rational persuasion, consultation, ingratiation, personal appeals, exchange, coalition tactics, legitimating tactics, pressure) have leaded in mixed results (Carli, 1999;Carothers & Allen, 1999;DuBrin, 1991;Lamude, 1993;White, 1988;Yukl & Chavez, 2002). For instance, male appear to employ influence approaches such as personal appeal, consultation, and assertiveness, while female apply strategies such as consultation, inspirational appeal, and ingratiation more with other women and exchange tactics with male (Carli, 1999;Carothers & Allen, 1999;Dubrin, 1991;Lamude, 1993;White, 1998).…”

Previous studies highlighted the importance of soft indicators (e.g., quantitative sociological survey) influencing citizen satisfaction towards municipal service quality. Citizen satisfaction assessments have raised concerns over numerous independent parameters such as gender, age, and education on satisfaction levels toward administrative performance. It is also crucial to underline that the application of sociological survey for improving service quality is not well understood by municipal officers or scholars. To obtain substantial combined multiple indicators of service quality, it seems rationale to reconnoitre numerous parameters of citizen satisfaction and quantitatively investigate impacts of independent variables (e.g., gender, age, education) on corresponding satisfaction levels by using some advanced statistical tools. In this sociological assessment, a targeted population was constructed of Bangkok Metropolitan administration (BMA) stakeholders (n = 38,500), which are as follows: -       Bangkok residents in 50 districts under the governance of BMA -       Board committee, executive directors and general staff of 27 BMA offices This multiple dimensional analysis sociological survey data indicates that gender, age, and education play some important roles in governing municipal citizen satisfaction levels. Overall, the knowledge of relationship between citizen satisfaction levels and independent parameters can enhance the service quality of municipal administration.
