Abstract

Gender has always been an issue regarding work relations. Men and Women are different, that is a fact, some researchers even claim that each gender has better chance to have high scores in a certain trait (Costa et al. 2001) but does those traits and gender effect promotion ? who is discriminated by gender ? this article, based on my doctoral thesis, examines the big five trait effects on both gender in regards to promotion in the Israeli Electricity Corporation (IEC). The results show that there is a difference between the genders, and it seems that women have a better chance of being promoted in the IEC, but the results are not conclusive as there are more factors that affect promotion in the IEC and there are differences in these factors as well. For example, education plays an important role on promotion in the IEC and it seems that in the female employees in the IEC have, on the average, higher education than male employees.
