Estereótipos de gênero: os desafios profissionais do homem secretário

Abstract

The Secretariat area has undergone and is still undergoing several transformations, increasingly attracting the interest of both genders. It can be seen that the secretarial profession has received a personalized and stereotypical profile from society, where women are the image of the profession. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the social influences that affect men in the secretarial profession. To this end, a bibliographical research was carried out and a Systematic Literature Review - RSL used studies in national databases, related to the topic in question from 2010 to 2024. The databases used were: The magazines Gestão em Secretariado and Expectativa, which were relevant to the topic, based on their periodicities in the published articles. A total of 9 studies of essential relevance to the topic in question were found, which were subjected to a rigorous analysis with well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. As a result, it was found that the secretarial profession, like other areas, has gender stereotyping as a landmark in its history, a reflection of several factors such as social construction, patriarchal system, sexist division of functions in the workplace and that there is a timid advance in the growth of the secretarial profession in relation to opportunities for professionals of all genders on an equal basis.
