Do female managers have high job satisfaction?

Abstract

This study examines the differences in job satisfaction among female and male managers and female managers and female non-managers. The analysis of five parameters related to job satisfaction yielded the following results. Female managers experienced significantly higher job satisfaction than male managers in terms of “overall job satisfaction,” “wages,” “working hours,” “benefits,” and “capacity development.” In addition, female managers experienced significantly higher job satisfaction than female non-managers in terms of “overall job satisfaction” and “wages.” However, no significant differences were observed among female managers and non-managers in the remaining three categories: “working hours,” “benefits,” and “capacity development.” In conclusion, this study suggests that female managers have high job satisfaction.
