Abstract
In this paper, we examine quality of working life (QWL) and evaluate and compare the predictors of QWL among 624 women and men in a variety of information technology (IT) jobs in five companies. The following QWL factors were examined: job satisfaction, fatigue, tension, organizational involvement, and burnout. The following predictors of QWL were studied: IT demands, role ambiguity, decision control, challenge and demographics (age, marital status, parental status, and education). Analysis shows that in our sample women in IT jobs do not report poorer QWL than men in IT jobs. On the contrary, women report greater organizational involvement than men.
