  • Workplace Gender Discrimination and Job Performance in Egypt: The Moderating Role of Equity Sensitivity
    American Journal of Applied Psychology, 2019
    Co-Authors: Mohamad Saad
    Abstract:

    Workplace Gender Discrimination is a significant problem in Egypt. However, there is limited research on Workplace Gender Discrimination and its consequences. The current research tries to examine the relationships between workplace Gender Discrimination and task and contextual job performances. Moreover, the moderating effect of equity sensitivity on these relationships is also investigated. A convenience sample on 312 working women was drawn from different work settings in Cairo, Egypt. They responded to a three-part questionnaire that assesses workplace Gender Discrimination, equity sensitivity, and job performance. The results indicated that workplace Gender Discrimination was negatively associated with both of task and contextual performances. Moreover, equity sensitivity was found to moderate the relationship between workplace Gender Discrimination and contextual performance only. These results were discussed in the light of the extant theoretical and empirical literature. In addition, limitation, future research and conclusion are also reported.

  • Multidimensional Gender Discrimination in workplace and depressive symptoms
    PloS one, 2020
    Co-Authors: Gaeul Kim, Jinmok Kim, Sukyoung Lee, Juho Sim, Yangwook Kim, Byung-yoon Yun, Jin Ha Yoon
    Abstract:

    Background Discrimination is associated with depressive symptoms and other negative health effects, but little is known about the mental health risks of workplace Gender Discrimination. We aimed to investigate the association of workplace Gender Discrimination and depressive symptoms among employed women in South Korea. Methods The 6th wave (2016) survey datasets of the Korean Longitudinal Survey of Women and Family (KLoWF) were analyzed for 2,339 respondents who are identified as wage workers. Depressive symptoms were evaluated by the short-form (10-item) Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale. Association of workplace Gender Discrimination and depressive symptoms was assessed using multivariate logistic regression, adjusted for potential confounding variables including age, income satisfaction, education level, marital status, and currently diagnosed disease. We then measured the age effect using age stratification multivariate logistic regression model. Results Women who experienced Gender Discrimination at workplace had higher odds of depressive symptoms regardless of the type of the Discrimination including hiring, promotion, work assignments, paid wages, and firing. These associations were consistent in younger women below 40 years of age in regard to hiring, promotion, paid wages and firing, whereas inconsistent among older women above 40 years of age. Limitations We did not investigate the effect of workplace Gender Discrimination on depressive symptoms in a longitudinal manner. Conclusions Workplace Gender Discrimination was found to be significantly associated with depressive symptoms after adjustment for socio-demographic factors. Further, women under 40 years of age were especially vulnerable to workplace Gender Discrimination.
