dc.description.abstractAlthough media and research stress the importance of closing the gender gap in the maledominated field of STEM, little is known about the reasons why there are so few women working in a STEM-related job. The present study focused on identifying predictors (worklife balance & stereotype threat) of job satisfaction and turnover intention in female STEM employees and whether professional self-efficacy (PSE) potentially moderates the relationship between the predictors and the dependent variables. Work-life balance and stereotype threat were neither related to job satisfaction nor turnover intention and PSE was not found to be a moderator between these variables. However, PSE was found to have a direct, positive effect on job satisfaction. The current study does not only contribute to what is known to impact female STEM employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention but also gives valuable practical implications on how companies can improve their employees’ job satisfaction. Keywords: job satisfaction, turnover intention, female STEM employees, work-life balance, stereotype threat, professional self-efficacy
