Gender Discrimination in the Organisational Environment

Abstract

This article presents the theoretical framework and the results of research conducted in a brewery concerning the concept of gender discrimination. The main objective of the research is to identify gender inequalities and to describe organizational practices that reflect occupational segregation. The study shows that although there are equal opportunities in the labor market between women and men, there are differences in compensation and options for advancement at work because women tend to give greater attention, time, and effort to family and children than men.
