A factor‐analytic approach profiling job selection differences of male and female accountants

A factor‐analytic approach profiling job selection differences of male and female accountants Aims both to scrutinize the stereotypical image of women in public accounting (e.g. women will avoid public accounting if they have small children), and also to determine whether job selection factors influence males and females differently. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of approximately 500 male and female accountants in the USA in order to determine the degree to which various factors influenced the selection of their current jobs. Reports the results of the survey. Specifically, through factor analysis, develops a profile of males and females on factors influencing job selection and identifying differences and similarities between the two groups. Also addresses areas for future research and suggestions for both accounting and human resources. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Managerial Auditing Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Aims both to scrutinize the stereotypical image of women in public accounting (e.g. women will avoid public accounting if they have small children), and also to determine whether job selection factors influence males and females differently. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of approximately 500 male and female accountants in the USA in order to determine the degree to which various factors influenced the selection of their current jobs. Reports the results of the survey. Specifically, through factor analysis, develops a profile of males and females on factors influencing job selection and identifying differences and similarities between the two groups. Also addresses areas for future research and suggestions for both accounting and human resources.
