The dependent variable is gender and independent variable consists of 9 factors including job fulfillment, treatment with supervisors, promotion and advancement opportunities, supervisors, gender discrimination, employee relations with coworkers, workload volume, fringe and benefits, and amount of compensation. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between gender and all factors regarding independent variable except advancement and promotion opportunities. The results also show that there are differences between male and female auditors in treatment by peers and supervisors and gender discrimination.
