With this descriptive research study the investigator proposed to determine what, if any, relationship existed between the assertiveness and job satisfaction in a sample of female Indiana Home Economists in Business and the significance of any relationship found. Data were collected by means of a two-part questionnaire (one section measured job satisfaction and the other measured assertiveness) sent to the population by mail and self-administered. Responses to the testing instrument were returned in a self-addressed, stamped envelope provided by the researcher.Collected data were submitted to t-tests for independent means and the Pearson product moment correlation was calculated. Significance of that correlation was determined by using the critical-ratio z-test. A bivariate frequency distribution and a scatter diagram were constructed to further illustrate the relationship between the variables assertiveness and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed for significance at the five percent level.Treated data did not support null hypothesis one or two of the study. Female IHEIBs were not generally nonassertive and this finding was interpreted as one of assertiveness. Female IHEIBs were not found to be generally dissatisfied with their jobs. However, this finding could not be interpreted to mean that the opposite was true (that female IHEIBs were satisfied with their jobs) because neutral feelings were not separated from those of satisfaction.Furthermore, the crucial relationship hypothesis in its null form was not rejected because the level of significance for the correlation between the two variables did not meet the criteria established for the study. That is, any relationship between the assertiveness of female IHEIBs and their job satisfaction as revealed by this study was no greater than might have occurred by chance.
