Men in Female-Concentrated Occupations Journal of Organizational Behavior 10,3 (July 1989): 201-212 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Occupational Segregation; Occupations; Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents an analysis comparing characteristics of men in female- and male-concentrated occupations and investigating assumptions and stereotypes about gender-atypically employed men, based on data from the NLS Young Men (N=3,400 in 1981 who were ages 14-24 when first interviewed in 1966). The variables considered included male presence in the household, socioeconomic background, sex-role attitudes, marital status, education, and employment characteristics. The findings show that differences exist in female- versus male- concentrated occupations, but not in ways found in previous research using small local samples; i.e., men in female-concentrated jobs generally were more satisfied with their work, and they were not more likely to be black, or to have less education, lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and lower occupational status than men in male-concentrated occupations. Future research should investigate choice of occupation to enable encouraging appropriate male subjects to enter gender-atypical occupations. [Sociological Abstracts, Inc.] |

Task Interdependence and the Gender Wage Gap: The Role of the Gender Composition of an Occupation Journal of Organizational Behavior published online (20 October 2022): DOI: 10.1002/job.2677. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/job.2677 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Job Characteristics; Occupational Information Network (O*NET); Occupations, Female; Occupations, Male; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. People increasingly need to collaborate with others in their workplace to perform their jobs. Studies have shown that task interdependence can have important consequences for teams and organizations, and emerging research suggests that it may be contributing to gender inequality. In this paper, we expand upon this literature to propose a relationship between interdependence and the gender wage gap. Relying on the lack-of-fit model, we predicted that the relationship between interdependence and the gender wage gap would vary with the gender composition of the occupation. This prediction was evaluated using multi-source panel data from a U.S. sample of approximately 8,000 individuals. We found that higher levels of interdependence were positively associated with gender differences in wages among people working in male-dominated occupations but negatively associated with gender differences in wages among those working in female-dominated occupations. Supplemental analyses using individual fixed effects, an expanded sample, and alternative job characteristics provide support for our arguments. Taken together, our theory and findings offer novel insight into the consequences of rising interdependence for individuals and their career outcomes. |
