İş İlanlarinda Ci̇nsi̇yet Ayrimciliği: Türki̇ye’de İnşaat Mühendi̇sli̇ği̇ İlanlari Üzeri̇ne Bi̇r Araştirma

Abstract

Women are an important part of today's business life. Nevertheless, research shows that gender discrimination is a frequently encountered problem in working life. These findings, however, focus on gender discrimination within the enterprise. In other words, gender discrimination practices that may exist during recruitment and placement before employment are relatively neglected in the literature. The aim of the study, in the framework of the ads and civil engineering context of Turkey, is to reveal whether there is gender discrimination in the job advertisements, which is the first stage of the recruitment process. Within the scope of the study, 112 civil engineering advertisement published on www.kariyer.net between 01-31 January 2019 has been examined by using content analysis method. Analysis shows that almost all of the job advertisements contain masculine / feminine expressions. Accordingly, it has been determined that the job advertisements examined are generally shaped by taking into consideration the masculine qualities in a way that will give advantage to male candidates. As a result of the study, it was concluded that direct and indirect gender discrimination was made in the job advertisements examined.
