Experiencing Technical Work: A Comparison of Male and Female Engineers
通过51对匹配的男女工程师问卷数据，发现女性对技术专长的态度更矛盾，原因不在于多重角色，而在于技术工作的男性化定义；在管理角色中女性矛盾较少，这种多样性对男女员工都有益。
Analysis of questionnaire data from 51 matched male/female pairs of engineers shows that even though these pairs are in very similar positions and share similar orientations to the role of work in their lives, the women have a more ambivalent attitude toward technical expertise. The reasons seem not to lie in complications stemming from women's multiple roles, but relate, rather, to the singular, more "masculine" way that technical work is defined. In managerial roles, in contrast, where criteria of effective performance are more difficult to specify, women seem to be engaged in new models which are associated with less ambivalence. Such diversity, it is argued, is useful for all employees, male and female.
