Abstract

The focus of the study is to examine the level of job satisfaction of working women in a male-dominant workplace. The women who work t male-dominated occupations faced several difficulties which decrease job satisfaction. The level of Job satisfaction can measure through the attitude of working women regarding work experiences. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of male dominancy on job satisfaction of working women at male-dominated work in Quetta city. The targeted population of this study was composed of N = 800 female workers from all higher educational institutes of Quetta (Balochistan). The sample size was N = 500. A structured questionnaire was developed to conduct primary data. The data were examined by using SPSS (statistical package for social sciences) version 24 software. The Chi-square test was implemented to measure the relationship between job satisfaction and male dominance at the workplace. The findings showed there is a significant association between male dominancy and job satisfaction of working women. The level of job satisfaction of working women is lower because of males’ supremacy. These findings imply that the chances of professional development must be equally provided to every worker without any gender disparity. Moreover, these findings render useful recommendations for policymakers.

Abstract

In Pakistan, women constitute about 67% of the agricultural labor force, engaged in agriculture and its sub-sectors to support their families. Because of the patriarchal society, women have been discriminated against in acquiring fundamental rights and decision-making in numerous aspects of life, including various farm and livestock-related activities. No or very limited studies have been conducted regarding women farmers' empowerment, especially in the Ghotki, Naushahro Feroz, and Badin districts of Sindh. Hence, this qualitative study was carried out in districts Ghotki, Naushahro Feroz, and Badin, Sindh to determine women farmers' perceptions about their empowerment regarding decision-making in agriculture activities. Thirty IDIs and nine FGDs were conducted through purposive sampling, and the collected data were analyzed through thematic analyses. This study reveals that women farmers perform various agricultural and livestock tasks for about 6 to 8 hours a day with their man folks. Illiteracy and poverty were the main reasons behind their engagement in the sector, and they worked as unpaid labour with their men. Women farmers have limited decision-making authority in various crop activities, the sale and purchase of agricultural goods, livestock, and its by-products, due to cultural constraints, they have no access to the agricultural market. This study suggests that education, professional training, and property ownership rights may be provided to women farmers to grow economically and be productive for future generations, society, and the country.
