| description | This paper aimed to explore the patriarchal system in the accounting profession that
had prevailed and oppressed female accountants. Women in accounting professions
that cantered the organisational structure and education were used in this research, as
well as main constructs such as lack of working experience as a woman accountant,
gender discrimination between man and woman, and the suitability of women to choose
a career as an accountant. The data was collected by distributing questionnaires to
64 female accountants around Malaysia with experience work of more than five years.
Findings showed that the discrimination of gender between women and men and the
suitability of women to choose a career as an accountant has a significant influence
on the patriarchal system in the accounting profession in Malaysia. This study is the
first in Malaysia and represents a strong implication for policies and their evaluation.
It identifies the patriarchy as a social and ideological structure that sees women as
inferior to men (patriarchs). In a society with the unfair power of men and women,
Patriarchy imposes stereotypes about masculinity and femininity. |
