| Descripción: | Abstract Undergraduate university enrolment in Canada is characterized by a higher proportion of women to men, with a pattern of gender segregation across some disciplines. Within some disciplines, there is also a pattern of internal sex segregation whereby women and men still sort themselves into gendered sub-fields, a pattern that is particularly evident in undergraduate business management programs. This study set out to understand why this segregation occurs. The study found that men and women use the same criteria in selecting a business major, including beliefs about success and fit, as well as advice from referent others. However, they attach different weight to these factors in a pattern that is gendered. Résumé L’effectif universitaire de premier cycle au Canada est caractérisé par un ratio plus élevé de femmes par rapport aux hommes, mais avec un modèle de ségrégation entre les sexes dans certaines disciplines. En effet, à l’intérieur de certaines disciplines existe un modèle de ségrégation fondée sur le sexe, où les femmes et les hommes classent encore leurs professions en sous- catégories en fonction de leur sexe. Cela est particulièrement évident dans les programmes de premier cycle en gestion d’entreprise, et la présente étude visait à comprendre pourquoi cela se produit. L’étude a révélé que les hommes et les femmes utilisent les mêmes critères dans le choix d’une majeure en études commerciales, surtout en ce qui a trait aux croyances quant à la réussite et aux aptitudes, ainsi qu’aux conseils obtenus d’autres références. Toutefois, les femmes et les hommes attachent une importance différente à ces facteurs selon leur sexe. |
