Comparison of Perceptions About Women Managers Working on Construction Sites

Abstract

Recently, women's social participation has increased. In Korea, the proportion of women in each field is increasing, including that involved in architecture engineering. However, most women who are engaged in construction engineering tend to avoid working on construction sites. Therefore, the proportion of women managers working on construction sites is very low. Despite these problems, there are few studies on the situation of women working on construction sites. The purpose of this study is to examine the reasons why women managers avoid working on construction sites and to compare the perception about women managers working on construction sites. By doing this, construction site organization management methods could be suggested for improving the proportion of women managers working on construction sites. © 2019 The Authors.
