摘要

本研究旨在探討「托育工作女性化」此一長年普遍存在於幼托環境的現象，在高雄市公共托嬰中心及育兒資源中心的現況為何，及工作者身處在性別隔離場域中的自覺與感受、男性工作人員在性別隔離場域，就其職位類別與同儕的互動經驗與感受，以及工作者及家長對公共托嬰中心性別議題的期待與建議。研究發現女性托育人員對於托育工作場域的現象，覺得「蠻好的」、「蠻方便」，並無對「托育工作女性化」狀態的不滿意或希望改變的期待；男性工作人員因其職位的內容不同，有不同的互動經驗與感受；工作人員認為女性主管同理心和貼心程度皆優於男性，故仍期待主管為女性；多數女性托育人員還是會選擇女性托育人員為自己的搭檔。

This study aims to investigate the feminization of the daycare workers, taking the status of the Kaohsiung Public Daycare Centers and the Childcare Resource Centers as examples. This phenomenon has existed in the childcare workplace for a long time. The consciousness and feelings of workers living in gender segregation, the male staff in the field of gender segregation in accordance with their occupations category and the interactive experience and feelings with their peers, as well as the expectations and recommendations of gender issues from the workers and parents. The study found that female daycare workers felt ＂fine＂ and ＂quite easy＂, and did not feel dissatisfied with the phenomenon of the feminization or have the expectation of status quo change. Because of the different content of their positions, male staff had different interactive experiences and feelings. The male staff believed that women in charge of the degree of empathy and caring were better than men. So they were still looking for female executives. Most female daycare workers would still choose female daycare staff as their partner.
