Abstract

Does a person's gender really affect their performance at work? The answer is yes. The idea is that these days we won't see a problem with a woman working for a man or a man working for a woman and wages, sexism, and gender classification in the workplace. This issue would be a social conflict due to the tensions between men and women within the workforce. This paper aims to contribute to a broader understanding of occupation by conceptualizing gender occupation as a theoretical tool to help scholars decipher the gender and politicized nature of the occupation. For certain jobs, just labeling them as "female" diminishes their influence, regardless of how many males are in the area. It seems that some occupations are so gender-specific that this has become an integral part of their de facto definition. Gender-specific job titles such as “midwife” and “postman” actively encourage the inclusion of gender in their definitions.
