In the Iranian
traditional culture, women's employment is not considered as a necessary matter
because men are responsible for supplying the economic needs of family. On the
other hand women’s interests and capabilities do not limit to the domestic activities
and they can act beyond their domestic roles and much of them are interested to
participate in the socioeconomic activities. Recent researches show that for
Iranian women the social and psychological profits of employment have been more
important than economic autonomy which it brings. Hence in this research we
have tried to recognize the different aspects of this issue using the knowledge
and experiences of executive managers. We choose these managers from the
organizations of Tehran city. The research data has been gathered by interview.
The findings show that all the managers believe in the economic, social and
psychological importance of women’s employment but women had more emphasis on
the economic necessity and men had more emphasis on the social necessity of
women’s employment. Moreover most of the managers believed that women's
employment has both individual and socio economic benefits so we need to remove
the structural and cultural obstacles of women’s employment and provide the
appropriate conditions for their optimum employment.
