“…The significant differences in job satisfaction of males and females are due to what they value, goals, and expectations in the workplace. This finding is validated in the study of Brockmann (2018) that sex differences inherent in job satisfaction may be because the job is secondary to many compared to their family. Women were stereotyped to be confined at home.…”

“…Promotion opportunities could increase the level of job satisfaction among employees. Buhai et al, (2008) suggested that a firm can increase its productivity through the improvement of the physical dimensions of the work environment and may have a positive impact on the company's productivity. Indeed, as mentioned by Zaim (2012), manager satisfaction has many aspects and could be influenced by various factors.…”

Job satisfaction among managers in the hospitality industry has a direct correlation to the ability of the hotels to increase guest satisfaction and improve services. This study aimed to determine the level of job satisfaction of hospitality managers among accredited hotels according to the star classification, their level of management, assigned departments and personal factors. By determining the level of satisfaction of managers according to the identified factors, management and owners of hospitality businesses would be able to focus on sustaining the perceived essential factors and will increase the manager's level of performance. A descriptive survey was used to gather the result of the study involving 91 managers of 4-Star and 3-Star hotels. The findings showed that the managers of the Department of Tourism accredited hotels in Baguio City are very satisfied with their jobs. Managers of 3-Star hotels are very satisfied while those who are in 4-Star hotels are satisfied. Middle managers are satisfied with their jobs, while the top and lower-level managers are very satisfied with their jobs. Managers in the front offices have a higher level of satisfaction than the support departments. The varying levels of job satisfaction among managers are dictated by several factors other than the job. In the personal factors, Millennial managers are satisfied while the Baby Boomers and Generation X are very satisfied. In ranking the most dominant factor that affects the level of satisfaction of hospitality managers, salaries and wages, promotion chances, and company policies emerged as the top three factors.

“…Another potential reason for the difference might have to do with the time period of the data used. While Trzcincki and Holst (2012) use data for the time period from 1984 to 2006, the results of Brockmann et al (2018) are based on data from the years 1984 to 2011. Our reported results use data from 2017, but we carried out robustness tests for the years 1999 to 2016, and the positive effect for women holds also for this time period.…”

Management jobs are typically associated with a higher level of responsibility, more interesting work, a higher pay check and more social prestige, but also to a larger commitment, longer work hours and less time for family and leisure as well as more stress compared to non-management jobs. This study investigates the impacts of a management position on satisfaction with life in general, often causally called happiness, job satisfaction as well as satisfaction with the financial situation. In particular, the paper also explores potential differences between men and women in this respect. We use data from the Swiss Houshehold Panel (SHP) up to the year 2017 and estimate ordinal generalized linear models (OGLM) in order to explain the different satisfaction variables by work-related, person-specific, and integration-specific factors. Also, we suggest a new approach to control for reverse causality. In contrast to other studies, we find that management positions do not only increase the overall subjective well-being for men, but also for women. Interferences between work and private life decrease the subjective well-being overall, but men in management positions additionally witness negative effects from these interferences, while women in management position seem to be more stress-resistant. Our findings reveal some fundamental differences between men and women with respect to person-and jobrelated factors affecting satisfaction with life in general as well as with the professional situation. Also, the results point to the existing and still largely unexploited potential of having women in management positions.

“…El second shift afecta tanto a madres en trabajos operativos como gerenciales (Hochschild y Machung, 2012). De acuerdo con Brockmann et al (2018), mientras los puestos de liderazgo requieran de las mujeres extensas horas de trabajo que disminuyan su tiempo como madres o esposas, la subrepresentación de estas en los cargos más altos persistirá.…”

Autorrepresentación de madres gerentes en la cultura organizacional y el vértice en su geografía

Se propone el concepto de geografía vértice como el espacio en el cual las madres ejecutivas se hacen presentes simultáneamente en los ámbitos doméstico y laboral a través de la virtualidad facilitada por dispositivos tecnológicos (celular, computadora, tableta). Se entrevistaron a 16 madres regiomontanas de 36 a 45 años, con un puesto gerencial, para detectar cómo son las dinámicas dentro de la geografía vértice y cuáles son sus límites espaciales y discursivos. Los resultados se exponen a partir de narrativas de autorrepresentación en este espacio, los cuales permiten concluir que el uso de dispositivos tecnológicos perpetúa la doble jornada de las entrevistadas; pero también que su utilización desafía la regla de la cercanía física como única vía para ejercer maternidad.
