basically i did a survey that contained 2 groups of 14 criteria, the groups were a list of 14 "facilitators" and 14 "constraints" on job success that i asked people to rank from most important to least important. this was based on a previous literary study that found that men and women differed in the importance they placed on constraints but did not differ in the facilitators they chose. so i basically repeated the same study.
in class we were learning about employment equity issues and basically that women have hard time finding jobs, getting promoted, are discriminated against etc. personally i've always felt that's a load of crap and just a reason for women to complain about something, and now i'm really surprised because on my survey women cited inadequate job knowledge as the number one constraint followed by equity issues. however, for men, MEN cited lack of equity in pay, promotions and training as the biggest constraining factor in work. why do you think this is? my sample size is about 60, so i know it's not too accurate, but i'm just confused why men would find inequity in their workplaces moreso than women, when the whole time we've been learning in school and in life that women have a harder time at work due to equity issues? any ideas?
