The impact of gender inequality among teachers at workplace on their psychological well-being

Abstract

Gender inequality in the workplace is certainly a matter of concern. Gender inequality has existed in India for centuries. Gender inequality means inequality against women on the basis of gender. Traditionally, women are seen as a weaker section in our society. Inequality in the workplace is analysed by discrimination in decisions regarding wages, termination, promotion, hiring, leave, benefits etc. The present paper is an attempt to examine the impact of gender inequality in the workplace on the psychological well-being of teachers. The study collected data using the psychological well-being scale developed by Sisodia and Chaudhary (2012). Gender Inequality in Workplace Gender Discrimination Inventory developed by Azim, Azimi, Asraf and Rehman (2005) was administered to the respondents.
