Estereótipos de gênero no Secretariado: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

Gender stereotypes can have detrimental effects when applied to both men and women, particularly in academic and professional environments. This study aimed to analyze current academic research on gender stereotypes in Secretarial work and their impacts on the field. The methodology involved a literature review and a Systematic Literature Review. The Review utilized studies from national databases related to the subject matter, including Google Scholar, CAPES journals, and electronic Secretarial magazines, encompassing articles published within the last decade. The review identified a total of 18 relevant studies, which underwent rigorous analysis. Concerning research production, it was observed that the theme remains relatively recent, indicating the need for further studies on the topic. The influence of the media in perpetuating these stereotypes was underscored. The research concludes that gender stereotypes affect not only the traditional division between male and female but also impact diverse gender identities and non-heteronormative sexualities in the Secretarial field. Furthermore, it concludes that the persistence of these stereotypes can influence the career and course choices of students and prospective professionals in Secretarial work.
