With no doubt, the most affected by these changes is the human being, one of the essential resources for the sustainability of organizational life.

The fair distribution of resources within the organization is effective in determining the attitudes and behaviors of people in organizational life. The perception of difference made to the employee in organizational life will be determinant in the bond that the employee will establish with the organization. The stronger the bond, the stronger the harmony between the employee and the organization.

According to the results obtained, it was found that gender differences had an effect on job stress, perceived organizational obstacle and organizational identification.
