- Gender differences on labour issues in hotel industry in the Algarve, Portugal: The perceptions of employees from two business groupsPublication . Seabra, Fernando Miguel; Contreiras, Joaquim Pinto; Duarte, PatriciaThis research sought to analyse gender differences in perceptions about labour issues hold by female and male employees of hotel companies, a male-dominant working environment (Burguess, 2003; Ng & Pine, 2003). Issues such as job insecurity, organisational justice, work- family interface, career opportunities and leadership are addressed in this study. The preliminary findings suggest that man and women have different perceptions on work- family balance (with women reporting higher conflict between the two life domains), and leadership (with women considering more than men do not like to have a woman as their leader). Perceptions on job insecurity and organisational justice seem similar between groups.
