Professionals in Scientific Disciplines: Sex Related Differences in Working Life Commitments

Article Abstract:

Job involvement, organizational commitment role conflicts, job treatment and professional involvement were studied to determine the effects of sex difference with regard to these various aspects of employment. Information was gathered from almost nine hundred men and women who were randomly chosen. These people replied anonymously to a survey mailed to them. Job involvement and professional activity were not found to be greatly affected by sex differences. Organizational commitment was affected by sex differences, as was the feeling regarding treatment on the job and level of role conflict. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine correlated variables, which are featured in tables.

Role of Self-Esteem within the Job Search Process

Article Abstract:

Self-esteem's meaning in the job search procedure is investigated using college students as subjects. Global and specific components were analyzed prior to job search inception. One-third year later, self-esteem was a predictor of job sources, interview evaluations, satisfaction with the search, amount of offers had, and length of possible stay. Global self-esteem was found to be a stronger predictor of search results which were highly linked to social skills. Task-specific response was more closely linked to search energy and reward. The sample consisted of business students at a major midwestern university. Tables of items related to self-esteem are highlighted.

A Policy Capturing Investigation of the Role of Expectancies in Decisions to Pursue Job Alternatives

Article Abstract:

Two methods, policy-capturing and narrative self-reporting are employed to assess the ways in which persons blend data about job characteristics and the likelihood of getting job offers when they are choosing to go after a job. About twenty-four hypothetical job choices at three levels were assessed by the subjects. Logistic regression variance analysis, cross-tabulation's graph analyses, and narrative report findings were used to measure responses. The cost of going after a job, and its relative attractiveness are strong determinants of search. Individual differences in job expectancies are analyzed.
