Abstract

The special situation of women workers as compared to men is most often explained by women's role in the family. Another and often neglected explanation of their work behavior is that most women have working conditions different from those of men. The article gives a detailed analysis of how working conditions in typical female industrial work limit women's possibilities for influence within the organization. The results of a study of three Norwegian industrial plants are presented.
