The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship of senior high school students¡¦ perception of work value and occupational selection. A cluster sampling is conducted to collect 528 8th graders from 7 senior high school students in Kaohsiung city . The valid response rate is 92.47%. In addition, 4 of students from 4 different schools are individually interviewed by this investigator in order to determine whether their paper and pencile responses are consistent with their actual perceptions. Finally, the hypotheses are tested through SPSS 15.0 statistical analyses. The results of the t-test, ANOVA, and regression reveal 11 major following findings: 1. There is non-significant gender difference on the scores of ¡§work value¡¨ and ¡§occupational selection¡¨¡Fwhereas girls¡¦¡Ascores on ¡§occupation environment & promotion¡¨ and ¡§work ensure¡¨ are significantly higher than those boy counterparts¡¦. 2. There is non-significant difference on the scores of ¡§work value¡¨ and ¡§occupational selection¡¨, while students¡Awho having different birth born order. 3. There is significant difference on the score of ¡§work of reputation and status¡¨, while studentsto obtain education degree levels. 4. There is significant difference on the score of ¡§occupation environment & promotion¡¨ and ¡§work ensure¡¨, while their fathers having different educational degree. 5. There is non-significance on the score of ¡§work value¡¨and ¡§occupational selection¡¨, while their mothers having different educational degree. 6. There is significant difference on the scores of ¡§work of independently & recreation¡¨ and ¡§work ensure¡¨, while students¡¦ studying in different style schools. 7. There is significant difference on the score of ¡§work value¡¨ , whereas there is non-significant difference on the score of ¡§occupational selection¡¨. 8. There is non-significant on the scores of ¡§work value¡¨ and ¡§occupational selection¡¨, while students having different academic achievement; whereas there is significant difference on the score of ¡§work reputation and status¡¨. 9. There is non-significant difference on the scores of ¡§work value¡¨ and ¡§occupational selection¡¨, while students with different task experiences. 10. The variables of students¡¦birth born order and self expectation to obtain education level and the score of ¡§work value¡¨ are together explained 35.2¢H of the variance of students¡¦¡Ainternal personality factor. 11.The variables of students¡¦ background, school style, birth born order, self expectation to obtain education level, and work value are together explained 24.3¢H of the variance of students¡¦ external environmental factor.

No / Occupational discrimination and segregation along gendered lines continue to be seen as problematic throughout the UK and the USA. Women continue to be attracted to occupations that are considered to be women's work, such as clerical, secretarial and personal service work, and inequalities persist even when women enter traditional male domains such as management Work psychology's chief, though indirect, contribution to this field has been through personnel selection research, where methods aimed at helping organizations to make more fair and unbiased selection decisions have been carefully examined. Our aim in this paper is to argue that, on their own, such methods can make very little difference to the position of women (and other minorities) in work organizations. The processes that are fundamental to organizational attraction and adjustment cannot, we contend, be understood adequately through reductionist approaches that treat organizational and individual characteristics as context independent realities. Drawing on critical management research and using the specific example of police work, we argue that work roles and work identities can be more fruitfully understood as social constructions that, when deconstructed, illuminate more powerfully how processes that lead to the relative subordination of women (and other groups) are both reproduced and challenged.
