Abstract ¡§Sexual role¡¨ is that an individual shows the behavior form of his sex from the behavior of himself. Generally speaking, the female role that we expect belongs to obedience, dependence, and meekness, the sexual role ability related to the expression of human emotions, and the male role that we expect belongs to achievement and independence related to the character of initiative and implement. Therefore, the said ¡§ Traditional sexual role attitude¡¨ is to have the conception of polarization to the bisexual role and nature. The modern sexual role attitude considers that women can develop their career outward as well except taking care of their family, so the sexual role attitude is more flexible. According to the discovery of Horner¡¦s research (1965), expected success will bring the bad effect to women when they are in the circumstances of compitetion, for example, unpopularity, expelling of the society, loss of date and object of marriage, loss of female temperament, and sense of sin, etc., so they will constrain their motive of achievement, reduce their performance of achievement, and avoid the opportunity of success in their career. This phenomenon is called ¡§Fear of success¡¨ or the motive of avoiding success. ¡§Future development¡¨ is indicated the growth accumulated by the serial working experiences from the serial formal working role of an individual, or the subjective perception, felling, and attitude to the growth of the serial working experience. This research, taking the female officials as the object of research, is supposed mainly to understand the relation and the effect extent of sexual role attitude, fear of success, and future development of the female officials, and with the variables of interference of marriage and education, probe further the effect of interference to sexual role attitude, fear of success, and future development. This reseach is using the way of survey questionnaire, and analyzed with various methods of statistic analysis. The important discoveries are stated separately as follows: 1. The sexual role attitude of the female officials tends to the modern role, and the sexual role attitude becomes more flexible. 2. The female officials have fear of success, and the tendency of the fear of success which responds on the working pressure is the highest. 3. Although the female officials have fear of success, they still have the strong demands of promotion. 4. The human relationship has remarkable and positive influence on career and achievement. The demand of career development has the effect of intermediary between human relationship and the relation of career and achievement. 5. The effect of interference of marriage to sexual role attitude, fear of success, and future development. (1) The interaction of role attitude outside of the family with marriage has effect of interference to mission direction and power demand. The interaction of role attitude inside of the family with marriage has effect of interference to working challenge. (2) The interaction of family life, making friend and selecting spouse, getting along of spouse, and working pressure with marriage has effect of interference to demand of mission direction. 6. The effect of interference of education to sexual role attitude, fear of success, and future development. (1) The interaction of role attitude and stereotyped image outside of the family with role attitude and education inside of the family has effect of interference to power demand, working interest, and demand of working challenge. (2) The interaction of working pressure with education has effect of interferenc to demand of mission direction.

Syfte: Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka huruvida det mansdominerade byggarbetet och den machokultur som i vissa fall finns på arbetsplatsen påverkat kvinnliga tjänstemän i deras val av arbete, samt om de upplever att de märker av och påverkas av rådande normer och strukturer i arbetet. Metod: Examensarbetets datainsamling har genomförts på ett kvalitativt sätt i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju kvinnliga tjänstemän från fyra olika byggföretag i Jönköpings län. Utöver det gjordes en litteraturstudie som lade en grund för undersökningen. Resultat: De intervjuade kvinnorna har i det tidiga stadiet av karriären reflekterat olika mycket på machokulturen och den manliga jargongen som skulle kunna tänkas uppenbara sig på deras framtida arbetsplatser. Vidare visar undersökningen att respondenterna i senare skeden upplevt machokulturen i liten eller större skala. Alla såg det dock inte som något särskilt anmärkningsvärt eller negativt, medan vissa vittnade om situationer som direkt går att anknyta till machokultur. Slutligen visade undersökningen att vissa intervjurespondenter upplevt skillnader gällande förutsättningar till att både utföra sitt arbete och att göra karriär. Konsekvenser: De flesta kvinnorna är ensamma på byggarbetsplatserna och har i viss mån upplevt machokulturen. Alla intervjurespondenter är eniga om att vi går åt rätt håll gällande såväl förutsättningar som bemötande. Vissa berättar dock om situationer med såväl arbetskollegor och företagsledningen som på något sätt fått dem att känna sig illa eller orättvist behandlade.  Rekommendationen är att företagen bör marknadsföra byggbranschen och då framförallt produktionsplatsen mot kvinnor. Fler studiebesök från skolans håll, då kan entreprenadföretagen visa upp byggarbetsplatsen och de yrkesroller som finns där. Byggföretagen bör också försöka få in fler kvinnor i ledande positioner som i sin tur kan bli förebilder för andra kvinnor. Förutsättningarna bör också bli jämnare när det kommer till bland annat arbetskläder och omklädningsrum. Byggföretagen bör slutligen se över om det går att förändra tjänsterna till att bli mer flexibla med arbetstiderna. Begränsningar: Då studien endast undersöker ett litet antal kvinnor på ett geografiskt begränsat område, bedöms arbetet inte ge några generaliserbara slutsatser för byggbranschen som helhet. Resultaten ger en bild av några kvinnors tankar och upplevelser av att arbeta i en mansdominerad miljö. Att komplettera studien med exempelvis enkäter till ett större urval kvinnor hade förmodligen ökat möjligheten till att dra mer generaliserbara slutsatser. / Purpose: The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to investigate if, and how, the male dominated construction work and the macho culture that may exist at the workplace have affected the female officers choices of occupation, and if they are affected by prevailing norms and structures at work. Method: The data collection for this bachelor thesis was conducted in a qualitative form of semi-structured interviews with seven female officials from four different construction companies in Jönköping County. In addition, a literature study was conducted that formed the basis for the study. Findings: In the early stages of their career, the interviewed women reflected to a varied extent on the macho culture and the male jargon that might be evident in their future workplaces. The survey also shows that respondents in later stages experienced the macho culture on a small or larger scale. However, everyone did not see it as particularly remarkable or negative, while some testified to situations directly linked to macho culture. Finally, the survey showed that some interview respondents experienced differences in the conditions for both performing their work and making a career. Implications: Most women are alone at the construction sites and have to some extent experienced the macho culture. All interview respondents agree that we are going in the right direction on both conditions and response. Some, however, talk about situations with both work colleagues and company management that somehow made them feel ill or unfairly treated. The recommendation is that companies should market the construction industry and especially the construction site towards women. More study visits from the school, then the construction companies can show the construction site and the different occupational roles that are there. The construction companies should also try to get more women into leading positions, which in turn can become role models for other women. The conditions should also be more even when it comes to, for example, work clothes and changing rooms. Finally, the construction companies should review whether it is possible to change the services to become more flexible with the working hours. Limitations: As the study only examines a small number of women in a geographically limited area, the work is not expected to give any generalizable conclusions for the construction industry. The results give a glimpse of some women's thoughts and experiences of working in a male-dominated environment. Supplementing the study with, for example, questionnaires to a larger sample of women would probably have increased the possibility of giving more generalizable conclusions.
