Gender-specific attitudes and competences of young professionals in the context of digitalization

Published:14 May 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

Digitalization causes serious changes in the living and working environment. The processes have different effects on the two genders and are assessed differently in the perception of men and women. However, results of gender-based sciences concerning digitalization are scarce. The following article presents the results of a study about basic attitudes of young professionals regarding the digital transformation from a gender-specific point of view, in order to identify possible differences in the perception between women and men. In addition, conclusions will be drawn on possible women-specific characteristics and competencies concerning the design of the digital transformation.
