Behavior Pathology on Gender Issues in Nigeria Banks Employment: Myths and Realities

Abstract

The paper examined the myths and realities on gender issues in Nigeria banks employment. The study collected data from a sample of 648 employees of deposit money bank headquarters in Port Harcourt. The research data were treated to primary analysis involving descriptive statistics of respondents’ demographics and workplace factors concerning workers outcomes. The demographics were presented in pie charts, while the workplace factors were presented in their mean scores. The study perceived that the discrimination in banks employment, which is in favour of young unmarried girls, is a mere response to societal sex-role creation in feminism and masculinism, clothed in corporate immorality. This is perceived to be strong in generating sex appeal, coquetry, flattery, and pandering to male egoism. The paper thus suggested a three phase model to reduce the expanding margin in the gender dichotomy in banks employment.

Keywords: Gender Issues, Bank Employment, Sex Roles, Feminism, Masculinism, Behaviour Pathology and Corporate Immorality.
