Abstract

The presence of discrimination has become more pressing than ever along with the civilisation of the work, especially in work context. This study is designed to study the relationship between perceived gender discrimination in the workplace (in three dimensions: workload and participation, resource access and personal communication) and work engagement in technology companies in Vietnam. Besides, the study also examined the moderating role of gender in the above relationships. Results indicate that there exist negative relationships between perceived gender discrimination behaviours and work engagement in two aspects: workload and participation and resource access, and no meaningful relationship between gender discrimination behaviours in personal communication and the employees' work engagement. Second, data also shows that these relationships can be moderated by gender, where the relationship becomes weaker for men than for women.
