The Contribution of Sex Distribution, Job Content, and Occupational Classification to Job Sextyping: Two Studies.

Abstract The distribution of males and females on a job, occupational classification, and job content as defined by the DOT analysis of job activity demands were examined as predictors of job sex stereotypes in two studies. Results indicate that the actual base rate of males and females in the job is the most important predictor of job sextypes, accounting for 48 and 70% of the adjusted variance in sextypes in the two studies. The results lend little support to the proposition that job content makes a significant contribution to the perception of job sextypes.

Job Content, Job Sextype and Sex Segregation in Employment: Three Tests of Conventional Wisdom.

Job content, occupational group and base rate of males and females on a job are examined as predictors of Job sextype. In addition, job content is examined as a predictor of relative proportions of males holding a job. Results lend little support to the idea that job content (and presumed male-female ability differences) have an impact on sextypes or relative proportions of males on a job.
