Gender Rores and Prejudices in the Working Environment: The Effect of Women's Gaining more than Men

Abstract: This article examines the effects of gender roles and prejudices in the working
environment, especially the gain of women more than men. Gender roles impose different
responsibilities to men and women in business and private living spaces, leading to various
prejudices and discrimination in business life. The situations in which women gain more than
men are perceived as contrary to traditional gender roles, which have psychological and
sociological effects on both men and women.
Traditionally, while men are expected to be the main source of livelihood in the family,
the situations in which women earn more can adversely affect the social roles and self -esteem
of men. This may have negative effects on men's mental health.
In addition, gender roles and prejudices reinforce the discrimination and obstacles faced
by women in the business world, which makes it difficult for women to progress in their
careers.
In this article, the dynamics of women's gaining more than men, the effects of
workplace relations and social perceptions will be examined; The contribution of cultural and
social factors to these dynamics will be evaluated. In addition, the policies that support gender
equality in the workplace and strategies to change social perceptions will be discussed.
