摘要

背景：在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，在STEM领域工作的男性和女性对在家工作的看法不同。本文的目的是强调在大流行期间在家工作所产生的意想不到的好处。方法：采用定性方法对调查所得资料进行分析。这项由WiMPBME设计和开展的调查针对的是在医学相关的STEM领域（物理和工程）工作的男性和女性，共有来自各大洲76个国家的921人回答了调查。本报告分析了对调查中一个开放式问题的回答，即：“在这次大流行期间，你从在家工作中学到/经历到的一件积极的事情是什么？”结果：594人回答了感兴趣的问题。72.2%的调查参与者报告了进入家庭办公室的情况。男性比女性更有可能报告在家工作没有阳性反应（62.9%）。女性比男性更有可能将高质量的时间、身心健康作为积极因素，并在回答中提到孩子。男性最常见的编码主题单位是远程工作，许多男性报告在家工作的可行性。提高工作效率、更好的时间管理和工作组织是不分性别的应答者强调的其他共同主题。结论：调查结果显示了STEM领域对远程工作的看法的多样性，同时强调了在评估STEM专业人员的不同经验时考虑家庭动态，个人情况以及性别的重要性。

A gender breakdown of unexpected benefits generated by work from home in STEM fields − A qualitative analysis of the WiMPBME Task Group survey

Background

Working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic was perceived differently by men and women working in STEM fields. The aim of this paper is to highlight the unexpected benefits generated by working from home during the pandemic.

Methods

Qualitative methodology was used to analyze data, collected via survey. The survey designed and conducted by WiMPBME targeted both males and females working in medical-related STEM fields (physics and engineering) and was answered by 921 individuals from 76 countries across all continents. This report analysed the responses to one open-ended question of the survey, namely: “What is the one positive that you have learnt/experienced as a result of working from home during this pandemic?”.

Results

594 responded to the question of interest. Access to home office was reported by 72.2% of survey participants. Males were more likely than females to report no positives of working from home (62.9%). Females were more likely to cite quality time, physical and mental health as positive factors than males, and to mention children in their responses. The most commonly coded thematic unit for males was remote working, with many males reporting the feasibility of working from home. Increased work productivity, better time management and work organisation were other common themes highlighted by responders irrespective of gender.

Conclusion

The findings of the survey show the diversity of perceptions about remote working in STEM fields, while highlighting the importance of considering family dynamics, individual circumstances as well as gender when evaluating varied experiences of STEM professionals.
