Determinants of Occupational Gender Segregation : Work Values and Gender (A)Typical Occupational Preferences of Adolescents
No full textBusch A. Determinants of Occupational Gender Segregation : Work Values and Gender (A)Typical Occupational Preferences of Adolescents. SFB 882 Working Paper Series. Vol 2. Bielefeld: DFG Research Center (SFB) 882 From Heterogeneities to Inequalities; 2011.The study examines micro-level determinants of the occupational gender segregation, analyzing work values and their effects on gender (a)typical occupational preferences of adolescents. Human capital theory assumes that women develop higher preferences for a good work/life balance in youth, whereas men develop higher extrinsic work values. Socialization theory predicts that female adolescents form higher preferences for social work content. This gender typicality in work values is expected to affect preferences for gender typical occupations. Additionally, parental gender role models are explored as important determinants for the development of gender (a)typical occupational preferences. Analyses of adolescents in the German Socio-economic Panel Study show that work values of a good work/life balance do not differ between women and men. Furthermore, those work values increase men’s preference for male, not female, occupations. This result challenges traditional economic approaches taking into account only resource oriented explanations. The strongest explanatory power comes from social work values. These are more important for women and increase preferences for female occupations for both genders. Therefore, this work value formed in youth still plays an important role for gender (a)typical occupational paths. Parental role models also partly explain gender (a)typical occupational preferences, primarily for male adolescents having a good relationship to their parents

No full textDo women in highly qualified positions face higher work-to-family conflicts in Germany than men?
No full textChanging employment conditions lead to new chances, but also new risks for employees. In the literature, increasing permeability between occupational and private life is discussed as one special outcome of this development that employees must face, especially those in highly qualified positions. Drawing on existing research, we investigate in how far women and men in those positions differ in their perceived work-to-family conflicts (WFC), considering the mediating role of gender specific job opportunities. Referring conflicting theoretical arguments, we hypothesize that in Germany - as a conservative welfare state - women, especially those with family responsibilities, will perceive higher WFC than men in those positions. Our analysis is based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP). Using the Siegrist instrument on effort-reward imbalance we find that women in highly qualified positions perceive higher WFC than men. This association is explained by women's lower willingness to take risks, and also party explained by lower job rewards women receive. It gets visible even more strongly if women's lower time-based burdens in the job are controlled for. Mixed results are observed concerning associations between family responsibilities and WFC, which is in line with ambivalent results in the literature
Headwind or Tailwind — Do Partner’s Resources Support or Restrict a Promotion to a Leadership Position in Germany?
No full textBröckel M, Busch A, Golsch K. Headwind or Tailwind — Do Partner’s Resources Support or Restrict a Promotion to a Leadership Position in Germany?. SFB 882 Working Paper Series. Vol 14. Bielefeld: DFG Research Center (SFB) 882 From Heterogeneities to Inequalities; 2013.This article examines the extent to which people’s partners’ social capital and processes that take place at the inner couple level influence gender-specific probabilities of obtaining a leadership position.
First, well-established theories are examined that offer different assumptions as to how a partner’s resources can influence occupational career. This article adds to research by applying a relational perspective on partners’ resources beyond looking only at the individual’s and partner’s resources. To resolve the research question, data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (waves 1984 to 2010) were used in a longitudinal design employing event history analysis (N=11,050 men and N=8,988 women). The results show different outcomes for women and for men. For women, the relation of resources between partners plays a significant role in their promotion to the top, espe-cially their own comparative advantage; whereas for men, their own resources—independent of women’s resources—seem to be more relevant

No full textSupply-Side Explanations for Occupational Gender Segregation: Adolescents ’ Work Values and Gender-(A)Typical Occupational Aspirations
No full textThe study examines supply-side mechanisms of occupational gender segregation, analysing work values and their effects on adolescents ’ gender-(a)typical occupational aspirations. Supply-side theory assumes that women develop higher preferences for a good work/life balance and for social work con-tent in their youth, whereas men develop higher extrinsic work values. This gender typicality in work values is expected to affect aspirations for gender-typical occupations. Following arguments on inter-generational transmission, parental gender role behaviour is also explored as a determinant for the development of gender-(a)typical occupational aspirations. It is argued that this plays a role mainly when family cohesion is high. Analyses of adolescents in the German Socio-Economic Panel Study show no gender-specific differences between work values of a good work/life balance. Furthermore, those work values do not affect preferences for gender-(a)typical occupations. Additionally, although men have higher extrinsic work values than women, these values affect aspirations for male occupa-tions only for women. The strongest explanatory power is for social work values which are more im-portant for women and increase aspirations for female occupations for both genders, in line with supply-side approaches. Parental gender role behaviour partly explains gender-(a)typical occupa-tional aspirations, primarily for male adolescents with a good family climate
