Estudio de la percepción de los trabajadores sobre estereotipos de género en el ámbito laboral en la empresa CONTROLRISK.

Abstract

The purpose of this degree work is to study the perception that workers of the CONTROLRISK company have about gender stereotypes in the workplace. Gender stereotypes have caused discrimination against women in different social, cultural and labor contexts. In the labor market, gender stereotypes have acted to promote occupational segregation, discovering labor gaps between men and women, the most noticeable being the salary gap. The consequences of this employment discrimination based on gender are manifested in different areas of work: access, stability, development, promotion and reconciliation of work and family life. The study company belongs to the security sector and is made up of 258 workers. From this study it was concluded that the most important stereotypes in the company with respect to women are: the natural disposition of childcare, the natural skill for household activities, and with respect to men: the inclination towards power. Likewise, the workers perceive that these stereotypes are moderated in the company and that their effects do not influence the different areas of work. More than not influencing, the workers are indifferent to this problem.
