It has been shown that women in general have a greater job satisfaction than men in the United States and United Kingdom, where it is suggested that women's job expectations are generally lower (Bender et al. 2005; Clark 1997; Sousa‐Poza and Sousa‐Poza 2000). That said, the gender influence on career satisfaction must vary in the context of the sector and subdiscipline being examined. For example, Bender and Heywood (2006) reported that among economists working in academia, females were less satisfied than their male counterparts. The negative relationship between age and career satisfaction is less for females than males. And except for impaired vision, there is less reported influence of disabilities on job satisfaction among women. Income appears to play no role in the career satisfaction of female academics (Bender and Heywood 2006). The impact of race on career satisfaction among academic is also less strong among females than among males.
