Why is it important?
Insight into career decisions of female STEM graduates impacts on employee recruitment and retention policies within those professions. First study to explore the influence of calling for careers of STEM women working in the Middle East North Africa region. A typology of calling was constructed of influences on the entry, abandonment or persistence of women in a STEM career.
