Gender equality in the workplace has not been described in pediatric gastroenterology.
An electronic survey that explored perceptions of career parity, work-life balance, and workplace harassment was sent to all members of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition. Reponses were anonymous.
Of the 303 respondents (21%), there was an even distribution across geographic region, age, and gender (54% men). Gender affected perception of salary and promotion; 46% of men but only 9% of women feel that "women earn the same as men" (P < 0.001). Similarly, 48% of men but only 12% of women feel that "women rise at the same rate as men" (P < 0.001). Both genders of academic practice respondents, compared with other practice models, perceived men were promoted more quickly than women (P = 0.008). Women had higher dissatisfaction with mentoring than men (29% vs 13%, P = 0.03). Significantly more men than women reported spouses with "flexible jobs" (35% vs 14%, P < 0.001). Having a spouse with "flexible job" or having children (preschool or school age), however, did not affect satisfaction with work-life balance for either gender. Overall, women are more likely to be dissatisfied with work-life balance than men (P = 0.046).
Satisfaction with work-life balance is lower among women versus men pediatric gastroenterologists, but does not correlate with flexibility of spouse's job or caring for young children. Gender-divergent perception of promotion, parity of compensation, and mentoring requires further investigation.
儿科胃肠病学领域尚未对职场性别平等进行描述。
向北美儿科胃肠病学、肝病学和营养学会的所有成员发送了一项电子调查问卷，该问卷探讨了对职业平等、工作与生活平衡以及职场骚扰的看法。回答是匿名的。
在303名受访者（21%）中，地理区域、年龄和性别分布均匀（男性占54%）。性别影响对薪资和晋升的看法；46%的男性但只有9%的女性认为“女性与男性收入相同”（P<0.001）。同样，48%的男性但只有12%的女性认为“女性与男性晋升速度相同”（P<0.001）。与其他执业模式相比，学术实践受访者中的男性和女性都认为男性晋升比女性更快（P=0.008）。女性对导师指导的不满程度高于男性（29%对13%，P=0.03）。报告配偶有“灵活工作”的男性明显多于女性（35%对14%，P<0.001）。然而，配偶有“灵活工作”或有孩子（学龄前或学龄期）对两性的工作与生活平衡满意度均无影响。总体而言，女性比男性更可能对工作与生活平衡不满意（P=0.046）。
与男性儿科胃肠病学家相比，女性对工作与生活平衡的满意度较低，但这与配偶工作的灵活性或照顾幼儿无关。性别在晋升、薪酬平等和导师指导方面的不同看法需要进一步调查。
