Structural and Social-Psychological Factors Associated With Job Functioning by Women Managers

This study examined the relationship among psychological variables and organizational functioning in a sample of managers, 65 women and 65 men. Analylis of responses to a mail questionnaire showed women, compared to men, were higher on Type A behaviour, speed and impatience, and job involvement scale scores. Women were less likely to have families than men, and men appeared to benefit more from marriage. Men also reported higher salaries with greater family support. These results support the need for reseatch to take into account the social context within which organizational and work behaviour takes place
