Abstract
The paper examined the myths and realities on gender issues in Nigeria banks employment. The study collected data from a sample of 648 employees of deposit money bank headquarters in Port Harcourt. The research data were treated to primary analysis involving descriptive statistics of respondents’ demographics and workplace factors concerning workers outcomes. The demographics were presented in pie charts, while the workplace factors were presented in their mean scores. The study perceived that the discrimination in banks employment, which is in favour of young unmarried girls, is a mere response to societal sex-role creation in feminism and masculinism, clothed in corporate immorality. This is perceived to be strong in generating sex appeal, coquetry, flattery, and pandering to male egoism. The paper thus suggested a three phase model to reduce the expanding margin in the gender dichotomy in banks employment. Keywords: Gender Issues, Bank Employment, Sex Roles, Feminism, Masculinism, Behaviour Pathology and Corporate Immorality. DOI : 10.7176/EJBM/11-8-05 Publication date :March 31 st 2019
Highlights
Cries on gender related issues as it pertain to discrimination against women is almost global
If the vocational engagements, deployment and challenges of those recruited are to be viewed with some seriousness, it may most likely reveal that there is more to be known about the sex-role implications, as it affect culturally created expectations of feminism and masculinism in the word of walks, as it is in Chance (1988)
This paper empirically examines these issues to provide a means of classifying thoughts, to separate myths from realities in corporate behavior on feminism and masculinism in Nigerian banks
Summary
Cries on gender related issues as it pertain to discrimination against women is almost global. Sex is a biological concept used to categorize the natural difference between man and woman It is a societal view on sex categories, and it is certainly male or female. Eketu (2018:1) contended that sex is viewed as a biological term referring to objective realities of male and female. Gender and Work Attributes Decisions on gender and work attributes are replate in workplace management and organizational behavior theorizing Such issues as: talent, commitment, consciousness, civic virtue, emotional stability, productivity, etc are contextual and contended (Eketu, 2018; Westen, 2000; Kottak, 2014 and Hyde, 2016). This indicates that banks employees are dominantly people of younger ages
