“…The observed differences in satisfaction levels between male and female teachers regarding the TAGs program underscore the importance of considering gender as a relevant factor in PD studies. While these results resonate with previous research that has identified gender-based disparities in various areas of education (Fernández Puente & Sánchez-Sánchez, 2021), the nuances presented by this study deepen our understanding of how gender may impact the perceived impact and satisfaction of PD activities.…”

This study aimed to investigate the influence of gender on the satisfaction of Vietnamese K-12 teachers who participated in Teaching Activity Groups (TAGs), a collaborative professional development (PD) initiative. Using a quantitative approach, questionnaire data was collected from a purposive sample of 147 teachers (108 females, 39 males). The data were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis and Independent Sample t-tests to discern potential gender-based differences in teachers’ satisfaction with TAGs and their perceived impact on teachers’ PD. The results revealed nuanced disparities in satisfaction levels between female and male participants, with generally higher satisfaction levels exhibited by females. Notable areas of difference included knowledge acquisition, skills acquisition, school support, and issue resolution. These areas were indeed discussed in the content, providing a detailed analysis of where gender differences in satisfaction were most pronounced. The results underscore the relevance of gender considerations in PD studies and offer insights for policy and practice in the Vietnamese educational landscape. The study concludes by highlighting the need for further research to explore these gender dynamics and their underlying causes in greater depth.

“…This result is somewhat paradoxical as women’s working conditions are often inferior to those of their male counterparts, especially in terms of job segregation and salary. In any case, this result is not surprising in economic literature (Clark, 1997; Fernández Puente & Sánchez-Sánchez, 2021; Grönlund & Öun, 2018; Long, 2005; Perugini & Vladisavljevíc, 2019; Sousa-Poza & Sousa-Poza, 2007). It is noteworthy that this coefficient is higher in the public sector, as pointed out by Sánchez-Sánchez and Fernández Puente (2021).…”

This work considers the impact of the different job quality dimensions on Eurozone job satisfaction through the European Working Conditions Survey-2015. The econometric analysis, using a probit model (marginal effects), reveals that dimensions associated with Social environment, Skills and discretion, Prospects, and Earnings have a positive and significant impact on job satisfaction. The impact of Work intensity is negative and those related to Physical environment and Working time quality do not have a significant impact on job satisfaction. Regarding the differential impact of the different dimensions on the public and private sectors, both Prospects and Social environment are notably higher in the private sector. The greater impact of the first index is not justified, as is the case with the Social environment, by a lower index but, probably, by the greater variability of the index in the private sector. Our work emphasizes the relevance of studying variables associated to job quality when identifying the causes of job satisfaction. Greater understanding of these dimensions in the private sector would improve the situation in the public sector (and vice versa) and, therefore, workers’ job satisfaction. Of special interest are the possible improvements in the field of Social environment in the public sector, specifically in relationships between workers and their immediate bosses and in the distribution of work tasks.

“…Indeed, our results are in line with the large strand of literature that suggests that women still feel more satisfied than men. Among others, Fernández Puente and Sánchez-Sánchez (2021) use the sixth EWCS and focus on the 19 countries of the European Monetary Union. Results on job satisfaction, which is measured by the question, ‘ I am enthusiastic about my job ’, show that, on average, women experience higher job satisfaction than men.…”

PurposeThe main aim of this study was to examine gender differences in job satisfaction in Europe.Design/methodology/approachFor the empirical analysis, data from the Sixth European Working Conditions Survey were used. Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition with a principal component analysis (PCA) aggregated variable, after unconditional quantile regressions in a multiple imputation background, was implemented.FindingsWomen report higher job satisfaction than men do. Women were significantly more satisfied than men for the middle levels of the job satisfaction distribution.Originality/valueThis study expands the evidence on the determinants of job satisfaction in the European labour market by applying a recent form of decomposition that invests in unconditional quantile regression (UQR). To the best of this study knowledge, this is the first time that the Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition with a PCA aggregated variable after unconditional quantile regression has been employed to study gender-based differences in job satisfaction.
