Diferencias de género en la percepción del logro profesional en especialistas de medicina familiar y comunitaria

Abstract

There are similarities and differences between female and male physicians both in the understanding and the attributions of achievement. The differences are explained by the gender system.

Job satisfaction among health care workers: the role of gender and age

“…Following our description of the relevance of job satisfaction in health care institutions and our explanation of the two-factor theory, we will now draw on past studies to describe the influence that age and gender have on job satisfaction (11)(12) .

Some authors (Markus, 1990;Riska, 2001) have claimed that this socialization theory is reductionist and fails to criticize the structure of organizations or existing career contents and models.…”
