Abstract

CELIS GIRALDO, Jorge Enrique  and  HENDEZ PUERTO, Norma Rocio. Preferencias de empleo de las estudiantes de doctorado en Ingeniería. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.14, n.2, pp.321-338. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/s1794-9998.2018.0002.09.

This paper analyses career preferences of women who are doing a Ph.D. program in engineering and compares them with those of men doing a Ph.D. program in engineering. Research on women with doctoral education has focused on exploring topics related to job climate, sexual harassment, the impact of family factors on job experience, employability, and salary earnings. The analysis is based on data collected from online survey administered to women doing a Ph.D. program in engineering at a university in Colombia. The results show that women have an interest in jobs in which they can do research as well as a high perception over job attributes, such collaboration with institutions/organization. One of the main conclusions of the study is that women show greater inclination for the work attributes of the academy while men show a greater tendency for those related to the industry and men are less interested in an academic career.

Keywords : education and job; women; PhD education; engineering; job conditions.
