JIMENEZ FIGUEROA, Andrés  and  HERNANDEZ REVECO, Agustina. Perception of gender equity and work-family balance in workers belonging to public and private companies in Chile. Cienc. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, e2201.  Epub May 28, 2020. ISSN 1688-4094.  https://doi.org/10.22235/cp.v14i2.2201.

It is analyzed whether there are significant differences in the Perception of Gender Equity and Work-Family Balance in workers belonging to public and private companies. The instruments Work-Family Balance (Moreno, Sanz, Rodríguez & Geurts, 2009) and Gender Equity Perception (Gómez & Jiménez, 2015) were applied to 300 workers from public and private companies. It is observed that there are statistically significant differences between workers belonging to public and private companies in the levels of Gender Equity Perception and Work-Family Balance, where workers in private companies have a higher Gender Equity Perception. Likewise, they have a higher perception of Work-Family Balance. There are significant and positive correlations between the perception of gender equity and work-family balance. It is concluded that the companies present differences in their actions in favor of establishing good reconciliation practices that have an impact on the perception of equity.

Keywords : gender equity perception; work-family balance; public companies; private companies.
