| Summary, etc | This paper documents gender differences in preferences for meaning using a large-scale survey across 47 countries. It then employs a choice-based conjoint analysis of MBA students at a leading business school to compare gender differences in preferences for meaning relative to other job attributes. Results show that gender differences in preferences for meaning at work are widespread and contribute to differences in behavioral outcomes, including industry of employment. The findings highlight the importance of incorporating meaning as a dimension in labor economics and gender studies, offering new insights into occupational choice and workplace dynamics. Scholars have examined whether preferences for job characteristics help explain why men and women sort into different occupations but have overlooked preferences for meaning at work. We first document gender differences in preferences for meaning in a large-scale survey covering individuals in 47 countries. We then conduct a choice-based conjoint analysis of a cohort of MBA students at a leading business school to study gender differences in preferences for meaning compared to other job attributes. We show that gender differences in preferences for meaning at work are widespread and partly explain gender differences in behavioral outcomes, including industry of work.- Reproduced https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/pol.20220121 |
