DIFFERENCES IN PERCEPTIONS, EXPERIENCES, AND JOB SATISFACTION BETWEEN THE GENDERS IN THE CAMBODIAN ACCOUNTING PROFESSION

Abstract

This study investigated gender-based disparities in workplace perceptions, experiences, and job satisfaction among accountants in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Utilizing a cross-sectional, quantitative methodology, survey data from 102 respondents were analyzed. Results indicated no significant differences in workplace experiences or satisfaction levels between genders. However, gendered differences emerged in how professional qualities and workplace environments influenced job satisfaction. For male accountants, job satisfaction was significantly related to professional qualities, whereas female accountants associated it more with workplace environments. These findings underscore the importance of inclusive workplaces and provide a basis for further exploration into systemic inequalities.
