Gender Differences in Organization Attraction

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The current study examined gender differences in organization attraction.Attraction to different organization attributes has been examined in previous studies.However, there is no one theoretical framework of organization attributes, as a result the findings from different studies were not directly comparable.The current study summarized previous studies about organization attraction and developed a four-factor framework of organization attributes based on evolution theories and Barrick, Mount, and Li's (2013) theory of purposeful work behavior.The current study also found that females were more likely to be attracted to organizations with higher level of work life balance and organizations with supportive social environment using both policy capturing and direct rating.Personality agreeableness mediated the relationship between gender and attraction to social environment.Findings of current study have both theoretical and practical implications.Future study directions were discussed.
