| dc.description.abstract | AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract The study conducted an online survey to investigate female employees' job satisfaction in Berlin-based startups, whether job satisfaction differs from gender, and whether the organisation arrangement in the post-COVID-19 era, namely the "Work from Home" practice has a positive effect on their job satisfaction. Female employees in Berlin-based startups had relatively high job satisfaction, while the major contributing factors are recognition, job nature, and work-life balance. Gender did not play a significant role in participants' job satisfaction. Moreover, participants were more satisfied after introducing the "Work from Home" practice. Since participants were frustrated with the unbalanced value of voices and lack of recognition, the study suggested that startups develop an inclusive workplace and a positive feedback culture. Keywords: job satisfaction, Berlin-based startup, female employee, post-COVID-19 era, inclusive workplace | en |
