Abstract
We investigated two factors that may affect Arab and Jewish Israeli women’s labor force participation: relationship- versus status-focused workplaces and traditionalism. Arab Israelis exhibited greater traditionalism than did Jewish Israelis. Consistent with stereotypic gender roles women preferred relationship-focused to status-focused workplaces, although this effect was weaker among those who strongly (vs. weakly) endorsed traditionalism. These results suggest that, consistent with some ethnographic research on Arab women, traditionalism may facilitate non-traditional workplace choices.
