Gender differences in the perception of the work environment within large international accounting firms
Abstract
Contends that prior research has not investigated whether employee outcomes such as performance, commitment, satisfaction and turnover vary between the genders in the large international public accounting firms. Moreover, there is little evidence on whether variables believed to affect these outcomes, such as role stress and job characteristics, vary between men and women. Based on a survey of staff auditors in the USA, identifies some significant differences in these variables between the genders and illustrates how gender differences alter the interpretation of relationships within a model of the public accounting work environment.
