UNVEILING THE PERCEIVED GENDER INEQUITY: AN ANALYSIS OF THE INDIVIDUAL VERSUS ORGANIZATIONAL-LEVEL PREDICTORS

Abstract

Keeping the view of existence of gender inequity in workplace that disregards the rationale of equal dealing with all workers, the present study explored the contribution of factors associated with individual and organizations in construction of perception of gender inequity among teachers. A sample of 341 college teachers provided data on Perceived Gender Inequity Scale and filled the information sheet for individual and organizational-level predictors. Results reveal that college teachers perceived gender inequity in their colleges and female teachers perceived higher gender inequity privileging males as compared to be male teachers we find organizational-level variables as a group highly predictive for perceived gender inequity than individual predictors. Individual predictors as one group explicated smaller variance, with gender, age, education, and marital status (except for job status and job experience) yielding a substantial impact in the predicted direction.
