Abstract

PurposeDespite continuing under-representation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, the literature still falls short on identifying and explaining the factors that could contribute to women's persistence and commitment. The purpose of this research is to identify cognitive and behavioral factors that will support the occupational commitment of women in STEM.Design/methodology/approachQuantitative analysis is based on a questionnaire survey of 375 women working in STEM in the Middle East region. Multiple regression and bootstrapping methods were employed in the analysis of the data.FindingsThe results support the following hypotheses: personal skills development has a positive impact on affective occupational commitment and coping self-efficacy, and coping self-efficacy mediates the relationship between personal skills development and affective occupational commitment.Originality/valueThis study adds insights on the dynamic approaches adopted by women in STEM fields to overcome occupational career challenges by testing several internal drivers, coping self-efficacy and personal learning.

个人技能发展和应对自我效能感对STEM领域女性情感职业承诺的影响
尽管女性在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的代表性仍然不足,但文献仍然缺乏识别和解释可能导致女性坚持和投入的因素。本研究的目的是确定支持STEM女性职业承诺的认知和行为因素。设计/方法/方法定量分析基于对中东地区375名从事STEM工作的女性的问卷调查。采用多元回归和自举方法对数据进行分析。研究结果支持以下假设:个人技能发展对情感职业承诺和应对自我效能感有正向影响,应对自我效能感在个人技能发展与情感职业承诺之间起中介作用。独创性/价值本研究通过测试几个内部驱动因素、应对自我效能和个人学习,增加了对STEM领域女性克服职业生涯挑战的动态方法的见解。
