本文分析了全职员工工作满意度的性别差异。为什么尽管工作客观上不如男性，但女性对工作的满意度却与男性相同或更高？分析表明，当考虑到工作特征、家庭责任和个人期望时，男性和女性在工作满意度的决定因素方面几乎没有差异。很少有理论支持男性和女性：(1)在达到给定的工作满意度水平时，关注工作的不同方面；(2)家庭责任程度对工作满意度的影响存在差异；(3)使用不同的个人期望来评估他们的工作。对于女性相对积极的工作态度，本文考虑了两种不同的解释。首先，通过使用不同的比较组，女性可能比男性获得更高的工作满意度。其次，由于不同的社会化，男性可能更愿意用语言表达对工作的不满。最可能的解释是，这些过程共同作用，在女性中产生了更高的工作满意度。
This article analyzes gender differences in job satisfaction among full-time workers. Why do women report equal or greater job satisfaction than men in spite of objectively inferior jobs? Analysis reveals few differences between men and women in the determinants of job satisfaction when considering job characteristics, family responsibilities, and personal expectations. Little support is found for theories that men and women: (1) focus on different aspects of work in arriving at a given level of job satisfaction; (2) differentially condition their job satisfaction according to the extent of their family responsibilities; and (3) employ different personal expectations in evaluating their jobs. Two alternative explanations for women's relatively positive job attitudes are considered. First, women may arrive at a higher level of job satisfaction than men by using different comparison groups. Second, men may be more willing to verbalize dissatisfaction with work because of different socialization. The most likely explanation is that these processes operate in conjunction to produce greater reported job satisfaction among women.
