Abstract
The authors reveal the conditions and forms of implementation of gender models in the professional environment, show the socio-cultural and personal dynamics of awareness and translation of gender attitudes in Russian society. Based on the survey data, the authors analyze the attitudes of mutual perception of men and women regarding the advantages of their family status and career potential in the professional environment of a modern organization. The purpose of the study is to study the features of the mutual perception of men and women in the process of career relationships. In accordance with the goal, the authors set the following tasks: 1) to analyze the views of researchers on the problem of the functioning of gender in the process of professional socialization; 2) to understand the specifics of the mutual attitudes of men and women in the process of career interactions; 3) by a generalization of theory and empirical data to characterize the gender climate in modern Russian organizations. Methods and methodology. In the course of working on the topic of the article, classical methods of cognition of social phenomena, such as analysis, generalization, analogy and comparison, are used. The gender approach is applied, which involves the study of the system of interactions, relationships and mutual perceptions of men and women in various spheres of public life (for example, the works by B. Zibell [23, p. 8]). This approach differs from “women’s studies” and, even more so, from the philosophy of feminism, where the focus of scientific attention is concentrated on “women’s topics”. To obtain empirical data, we used an online survey conducted using Google forms. Results. The analysis of foreign and domestic approaches to the study of the career process is given. Career is characterized as a socio-psychological and socio-cultural phenomenon, the prerequisites and dynamics of gender inequality in modern conditions are revealed. Based on the interpretation of the survey data, the features of the mutual perception of men and women in the conditions of their professional interaction are revealed. The scope of the results. The results of the research can be used to create recommendations for studying the psychological components of the state of public opinion on management and gender issues, for organizing socially significant events, seminars, webinars, including gender topics, when writing textbooks for the social and communicative block.
