“…Lent et al (2000) argued that perceived environmental factors can influence individuals' career development by shaping the experiences that influence self-efficacy and outcome expectations. As argued by Garriott et al (2016) and Hancock et al (2020), according to the SCCI framework, STEM stereotypes were conceptualized as a background contextual affordance in their quantitative study.…”

Background Nurturing students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers is a major goal of STEM education. Although the relationship between students’ stereotypical beliefs regarding STEM careers and their career interest can be reasonably hypothesized, research investigating the extent to which and how students’ STEM career interest is directly or indirectly influenced by their stereotypical beliefs is lacking. This study investigated how upper primary students’ stereotypical beliefs regarding STEM careers predicted their STEM self-efficacy and STEM career-related outcome expectations and how these constructs predicted their STEM career interest. Structural equation modelling was used to analyse quantitative survey data of 824 fourth- to sixth-grade students and test the hypothesized models. Results Students’ stereotypical beliefs regarding STEM careers negatively predicted their self-efficacy in STEM activities and career-related outcome expectations. Additionally, the students’ self-efficacy in STEM activities and career-related outcome expectations in turn predicted their STEM career interest. Conclusions These results explain the potential indirect effect of STEM stereotypes on students’ career interest through self-efficacy and outcome expectations. The findings highlight the significant role of STEM stereotypes, self-efficacy in STEM activities, and career-related outcome expectations in students’ career development. The implications of this study for STEM education are also discussed.

“…The distinction in the perception of particular identity due to gender differences is present in the literature in the broad spectrum (Casey, 2021;Hancock et al, 2020). The gender lens was qualitatively analyzed mainly based on the identities of particular figures, e.g., two Swedish artists, Fredrik Ekelund and Rodrigo Bernal (Lindholm, 2015), diaries of Mary Seton Watts (Rose, 2017), actor's identity as a manager (Walter, 2015).…”

Because personal identity is a crucial component forming an individual, the perception of identity is a key feature in identity work. As a crucial component of the constant development of an individual, identity work influences the sustainability of groups and societies. Due to gender differences in many areas, the research on the impact of gender factors on the perception of creative individuals (like an artist, creator, entrepreneur, leader, and manager) may bring significant conclusions. Although gender factor is widely present in the literature, there is a gap about the impact of gender on the perception of creative individuals. A quantitative examination among the international society representatives (n = 160) was undertaken to fill this gap. The research displays that male and female perspectives of the perception of the creative identities are statistically similar. The hypotheses were confirmed using the chi-square test of independence (p < 0.001). The additional qualitative analysis reveals that females, in comparison to males, see the particular factors constituting each studied identity slightly more transparent and as more important: the artist's identity by 1.73%, the creator's identity by 0.98%, the entrepreneur's identity by 2.23%, the leader's identity by 2.11%, and the manager's identity by 1.15%. The research results may be used to understand the gender differences of creative identities' perception by male-or female-dominated groups, organizations, and societies. The consequences of the differences for management and entrepreneurship may be seen as minor from the general perspective. However, they may be essential in the efficiency of the cooperation: 1) There is no evidence that any gender should be limited or preferred about working with creative individuals; 2) There is a slight difference indicating female predispositions in the perception of creative identities; 3) Particular features of creative individuals are underrated or overrated by males and females and can determine particular decisions. The research conclusions should be seen as a novelty compared to results describing essential differences in many areas of human activities regarding gender.

“…Examples of male-typed occupations were auto-mechanic, firefighter, CEO, professional athlete, engineer, and laborer. Included among the femaletyped occupations were nurse, social worker, childcare worker, secretary, housekeeper, and dental assistant (Hancock et al 2020).…”

“…Although gender segregation in the workplace is prohibited sex discrimination, recent empirical data confirms that occupational segregation by gender persists (United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) 2018). Research also indicates that we continue to associate certain occupations with men and others with women (e.g., Hancock et al 2020).…”

The persistence of the gender-typing of work, as well as its implications, is substantiated by empirical and experimental data and by court decisions. Gender-typed work is work that is numerically or normatively dominated by one gender. Occupational segregation by gender results in occupations that are numerically dominated by either men or women. The data and literature reviewed herein indicate that industries, occupations, and the organizational hierarchy remain segregated by gender, and this segregation perpetuates gender inequality in status and pay. Numerical domination of an occupation by one gender produces an archetype of the worker in that occupation as being of the gender that is predominant, hence giving rise to normative domination. Presumptions then arise
