Abstract
Female employees generally show a higher level of job satisfaction than their male counterparts, although working conditions and rewards for female employees are usually inferior, and this is called a paradox of 'grateful slaves'. This study verified whether or not this paradox occurs among female public managers. With 790 public managers (female managers: 44%) in the USA, gender effects were examined on job satisfaction and work orientations among public managers. According to the results, female public managers showed a similar level of job satisfaction, but they had different work orientations, compared to their male counterparts.
