Sri Suhandiah · SIR - STIKOM Institutional Repository · 2012
Gender seemed to have important role in choosing a job in the computer related works. Women graduated from a computer college are less interested in working as computer programmer, although they are given special privileges. The objective of this study is to examine if there are differences on perception such as acceptability, career commitment and women special accommodation/privileges on marital and maternity leaves, between men and women graduates.The issue above is empirically tested by asking both men and women alumni directly using electronic-questionnaires. Statistical test was utilized to test differences on their answers. It is found that there are slight differences between the issue of acceptability, while there are no differences on the issue of career commitment and special or particular accommodation between men and women alumni. Larger part of the respondents expressed that working women should have the same career commitment as their men counterparts. In addition, special accommodation should also be given to them since they are unique individuals.
