title: Women's and men's responses to sex-segregated work.
abstract: Research on the consequences of sex segregation at work has focused mainly on economic consequences rather than affective outcomes. This chapter discusses how the sex composition of women's and men's work settings affects their psychological well-being and job satisfaction. Research discussed here shows that sex composition can affect satisfaction directly rather than simply serving as a proxy for rewards and working conditions.
