Women speak about Work: A Call for Reform


Chantal Epie

Abstract

The concept of work tends to be equated to that of paid employment in the organisational behaviour literature, reflecting the prevalence of male paradigms of work. A qualitative study was undertaken to capture the views on work held by Nigerian educated city women who wish to assume responsibly a variety of roles including those of paid workers, homemakers and mothers. A new, broader definition of work emerges from the findings. The women interviewed identified the main problems arising from a restrictive concept of work and suggest ways in which employers could facilitate top performance on the part of their female staff
