The Declining Job Satisfaction of White-Collar Women in Sex-Segregated and Mixed-Sex Occupations.

Lemkau, Jeanne Parr; Pottick, Kathleen J.

Journal of Vocational Behavior, v25 n3 p344-58 Dec 1984

Analyzed data comparing women white-collar workers in 1957 (N=258) and 1976 (N=372) on the basis of decline in job satisfaction, and the effects of sex-segregation of occupation on this decline. Results indicated that decline in job satisfaction, especially affiliation and achievement, was greater for women in sex-segregated occupations. (LLL)
