더 차별받는 여성과 더 취약한 남성?: 직장 내 성차별의 성별 차이

초록

This study examines how perceptions of gender discrimination in the workplace affect job satisfaction, work-related well-being, and organizational commitment among male and female managers (833 men and 2,345 women) working in firms with more than 100 regular employees. Motivated by the lack of empirical research on gender differences in the consequences of perceived discrimination, particular attention is given to men’s perceptions of discrimination against their own gender. The analysis shows that although perceptions of workplace gender discrimination are higher among women—the traditionally lower-status group—the negative effects of such perceptions are more pronounced among men, who are generally considered the higher-status group. These gendered differences in the consequences of perceived discrimination are consistently observed across all dependent variables related to work attitudes. The adverse effects of men’s perceptions of gender discrimination can be understood in relation to the influence of gender stereotypes applied to both sexes, the perception of reverse discrimination among men, and heightened sensitivity to (reverse) gender discrimination.
