ABSTRACT
Research in sex differences over the past two decades has revealed that different occupations are associated with women and men (Aibrecht et al. 1977; Evans-Rhodes et al. 1990; Schein 1973, 1975; Shinar 1975). Two major explanations of occupational sex-typing found in the literature are (1) the personality characteristics that are differentially attributed to men and women, and (2) the proportion of women to men currently employed in an occupation (Shinar 1975).
