其他摘要：Purpose: This paper aims to analyze the subjective aspects of women who work in the financial market, focusing on the meanings they attri - bute to their labour activities. Originality/value : Despite the significant academic production about gen - der, few studies investigate the meaning women attribute to their work activities or analyze the main building elements in the subjective con - nection between women and a masculine work environment. This study, therefore, extends the literature on gender issues and labor relations, in addition to analyzing the achievements and challenges inherent in the professional choices of women in the contemporary world. Design/methodology/approach: The research was conducted by means of in-depth interviews with 16 women, at different ages and several family structures, who work on asset managers, investment brokers and investment banks. Content analysis was applied to the tex - tual data to interpret and make inferences, using a priori coding. Findings: Data analysis identified that, for these professionals, meaning attribution occurs through the mechanisms of self-esteem, self-efficacy, purpose and belongingness, which are viable due to the success they conquered in a very competitive work environment. Other factors, such as the high incomes earned by the interviewees, also have an important role in the meaning they attribute to their work.
