| Abstract: | Analysis of questionnaire data from 51 matched male/female pairs of engineers indicates that the women have a more ambivalent attitude towards technical expertise. The reasons seem to relate to the singular, more "masculine" way that technical work is defined.In managerial roles, in contrast, women seem to be engaged in new models, which are associated with less ambivalence. |
