註釋This paper recounts the experience of the incorporation of women into heavy industry during the employment boom of 1974-1979 in Ciudad Guayana and the decline in female employment in the years following the boom. The first and second sections of the paper outline the features of female incorporation at a specialty steel plant and at the state-owned steel mill which, combined, account for over 70 percent of all manufacturing employment in the city. The third section presents the characteristics of the discrimination to which two groups of women, laborers and engineers, were subjected. The fourth and final section analyzes the effects of discrimination on worker behavior and suggests that both male discriminatory behavior and female coping mechanisms are not only the result of the structural factors of power, opportunity, and numbers identified by Kanter in her classic 1977 study, but are also associate with factors of class, age, and culture. Thus, it is necessary to include considerations of both structural factors and individual or personality characteristics to develop corrective programs in a particular organization or culture.
