Female Engineers’ Happiness and Productivity in Organizations with Paternalistic Culture

A Deep Dive into Worker Psychological Well-Being in the Construction Industry: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework

“…Job demands-control-support theory was used by four articles to delineate the influence of job demands, job control and support, work-to family conflict, work overload on workplace stress, burnout and psychological distress (Bowen et al 2014a;Bowen et al 2014c;Janssen et al 2001;Liang et al 2021). Social exchange theory (Blau 1964) was used by three articles, examining the predictive power of career fit, fair human resource practices, supportive leadership, work-life policies and experience of inclusion on job satisfaction, work-life balance and turnover intent (Chew et al 2020;Francis and Michielsens 2021;Oyewobi et al 2020).…”

Female Engineering Students’ Motivations, Career Decisions, and Decision-Making Processes: A Social Cognitive Career and Motivation Theory

“…In line with social cognitive career and motivation theory (Dos Santos, 2021aSantos, , 2021d, academic interests played a significant role in the motivations, career decisions, and decision-making processes of the participants. As demonstrated in a number of previous studies (Chew et al, 2020;Falco & Summers, 2019;Fuesting et al, 2017), it is the academic interests of high school students and adult learners that motivate them when selecting their university major and career pathways. Although the gender gap, discrimination, and social stigma might limit their career decisions and decision-making processes, the participants in this study continued to follow their academic interests when making decisions about what university major to study and what career path to pursue.…”

Inequalities in the Exercise and Continuity in Building Engineering in Spain. Factor Analysis Including Gender Perspective

“…Thus, what is fundamentally touted as the major cause of discrimination against women in the construction sector is the prevailing gender socialization model, by which certain roles and capacities are associated with one of the genders to detriment of the other. This model of socialization ends up being a very large determinant of the person's possibilities, acting on her own decisions, but also on those of her environment [10,12,15,[19][20][21][22][23][24]. Faced with this scenario, the scientific community, with the support of science and research, must commit itself to the recognition of myths and false beliefs about the physical and intellectual capacities of the gender, for the eradication of inequalities based on beliefs without a scientific basis.…”

“…Furthermore, to support these work plan allocations, there has always been a wide range of societal beliefs and stereotypes, that is, a social imaginary [10,12,[19][20][21]. This approach associates the work in the construction sector with men, because of the strength, whereas jobs related to childcare are strongly associated with women because of affection, care or empathy, features deemed "distinctive and innate" among women [10,15,[22][23][24]. What is feminine, linked to care, finds no expression on the construction site, a place considered rough and dirty, that is, an inappropriate place for women and femininity [2,4,13,25].…”

“…(Sara, female, partner, 30 s) [6]. Some women in this field are exposed to sexual violence, especially those at the building site, and this is a least but not less important studies dimension [10,16,19,24,[34][35][36]. This type of violence manifests itself in multiple ways, as the World Health Organization points out, sexual violence is "any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, comments or unwanted sexual advances ( .…”
