Exploring the multifaceted challenges of women in engineeringDabić, Marina (Avtor) Obradović Posinković, Tena (Avtor) Maley, Jane Frances (Avtor) Vlačić, Božidar (Avtor) Marzi, Giacomo (Avtor) Kraus, Sascha (Avtor) economicsgenderequalityemploymentAustraliadiscriminatory behaviourgender equitygender digital divideliterature reviewwomen in engineeringThe present research delves into the complex dynamics of gender equality, highlighting women's experiences within the engineering sector. Drawing from a literature spanning from 2005 to 2023, we gathered insights from 108 pertinent articles on the topic. Our results show that a substantial portion of research underscore the persistent biases and barriers women encounter in engineering. Through our analysis, we unveiled four dominant themes: 'The Impact of Sex Differences on Productivity', 'Gender Digital Divide', 'Discriminatory Behaviour', and 'Women and Performance'. Applying the glass ceiling theory as analytical framework, we discern a prevailing neglect towards women's challenges in the engineering field. Our findings accentuate the necessity for innovative policy interventions. To this end, we introduce a comprehensive policy model tailored to champion robust gender equity initiatives within engineering field.20242024-09-19 14:56:51Članek v reviji162197UDK: 331.108ISSN pri članku: 0018-9391DOI: 10.1109/TEM.2023.3342980COBISS_ID: 178786307sl
