摘要:This research aims to evaluate how social gender representations have influenced the professional lives of women within the current context denoted by productive restructuring. With that in mind, a descriptive study was carried out in an organization of the telecommunication equipment sector. The data gathering technique adopted included semi structural interviews. The interviewees had to work double shifts. Gender based professional activities division could be verified in this organization and was, in part, a consequence of aspects that are inherent to its organizational culture. A phenomenon known as “glass ceiling”; a subtle barrier which hinders women’s professional growth ; could also be observed. As for autonomy and influence power, the advent of productive restructuring has brought no significant modifications to most of the women who were interviewd.
