Abstract
The occupational status, experiences, and attitudes of female and male engineers in Southern California were compared by means of 407 fixed choice questionnaires and 82 open-ended interviews. While the women and men were virtually identical in educational qualifications and time on the job, and quite similar in occupational attitudes, their current job status was dissimilar. Fewer women held high status jobs in design or management. These patterns can best be explained by a conflict model which emphasizes the interplay of structural features of the work place and the interactional resources of individuals.
