Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 04
Abstract
Biologically, men and women exhibit physiological differences. However, when differences of each gender are used to mistreat or favor one group from the other, this could be considered as discrimination. Gender discrimination could happen anywhere including the workplace that could have a detrimental effect on the job performance of an individual in an organization. To investigate such occurrences, this research paper aims to see the relationship of perceived gender discrimination, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment amongst women and LGBTQIA+ members of uniformed personnel in the Philippines, which is believed to be a male dominated organization. A total of 120 respondents participated in the study and answered an online questionnaire. The levels of the variables were measured and analyzed through pearson r test. Findings of the study showed a significant negative relationship between perceived gender discrimination and job satisfaction and commitment. Also, most members of the uniformed personnel perceived gender discrimination on specific area of the workplace which is on the recruitment process, while low level of perceived gender discrimination was reported on other areas. Inputs to gender and development program of the organization were given based on the results of this study.
