abstract: 'Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyse gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences in job quality during the first years of the economic crisis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in Spain.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach - The paper uses microdata from the Quality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Working Life Survey. A representative sample of 5,381 and 4,925
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Spanish employees (men and women) in 2008 and 2010, and a two-stage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
structural equation modelling (SEM) are empirically tested.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Findings - The study revealed three main results. First, the improvement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in job quality was more favourable to men than it was to women. Second,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the gender differences in the explanation of job quality increased
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerably in favour of men. Third, this increase in gender-related
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
job inequality in favour of men is explained by a worsening of 4 of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5 explanatory dimensions thereof: intrinsic job quality; work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
organisation and workplace relationships; working conditions, work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
intensity and health and safety at work; and extrinsic rewards. Only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality in the work-life balance dimension remained stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Research limitations/implications - The availability of more detailed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
microdata for other countries and new statistical methods for analysing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
causal relationships, particularly SEM-PLS, would allow new approaches
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to be taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Social implications - Public policy measures required to fight against
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender inequalities are discussed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Originality/value - The paper contributes to enrich the understanding of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the multidimensional and gender-related determinants of job quality and,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in particular, of studying the effects of the first years of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economic crisis.'
