A Woman's Place is at Work: The Rise of Women's Paid Labor in Five Texas Cities, 1900-1940Scott, Codee 08 1900 (has links)
This thesis is a quantitative analysis of women working for pay aged sixteen and older in five mid-size Texas cities from 1900 to 1940. It examines wage-earning women primarily in terms of race, age, marital status, and occupation at each census year and how those key factors changed over time. This study investigates what, if any, trends occurred in the types of occupations open to women and the roles of race, age, and marital status in women working for pay in the first forty years of the 20th century.

Career entry barriers for female academics at the University of LimpopoRabodiba, Matema Salome January 2014 (has links)
Thesis (MBA. (Administration)) -- University of Limpopo, 2014 / The purpose of this study was to investigate career-entry barriers for female
professors and doctors at the University of Limpopo. The findings not only offer a
wealth of strategies for career success and for overcoming professional and
personal challenges, but also shed new light on critical factors that affect women
and their experiences at work.
The quantitative investigation was the main method used and thus formed the core
of this study. The quantitative investigation was based primarily on confidentially
structured questionnaire provided to 66 female professors and doctors.
The findings from the study revealed that there are various personal, institutional
and societal barriers affecting women’s participation at the university. At the personal
level such factors as academic qualification (PhD), administrative experience,
management skills, confidence, assertiveness, high visibility, hard work and
diligence were found to enhance women’s participation in university. On the other
hand, absence of these personal attributes were said to limit women’s confidence in
applying for senior management positions.
At the societal level support from family and friends was found to enhance
women’s participation. At the institutional level the recruitment, appointment and
promotion practices stood out as the main factors affecting women’s participation in
university management. In some cases these policies were not clearly documented.
The results revealed that to overcome career- entry barriers at the University of
Limpopo, female professors must constantly overachieve, maintain good
relationships with others, and hold onto personal and institutional values to do the
right things, expand themselves constantly, and utilize strong mentors’ assistance
as well as sponsorship.
v
Recommendations such as an urgent need for the formulation of equal
opportunity policies, provision of professional development and mentoring
opportunities and the creation of a family-friendly working environment by providing
programs, facilities, and services that respond to the needs of people with children
where suggested.
From the recommendation it is clear that there are strategies that needs to be put in
place to solve career entry barriers. A prerequisite to meet this is hard work,
commitment, support structure and persistence.

Effects of career guidance strategies for females on career maturity and locus of control of high-achieving twelfth-grade femalesBorden, McKay 10 October 2005 (has links)
This study was designed to examine the effectiveness of the following career guidance strategies: career information investigating, job information interviewing, shadowing, panel of positive female role models, parental involvement and group counseling on career maturity and locus of control of high-achieving twelfth-grade females.
Participants in this study were thirty-two high-achieving twelfth-grade females currently enrolled in advanced placement English classes, who were currently taking advanced mathematics, advanced science, and advanced foreign language courses; or who had completed three years of advanced mathematics, advanced science, and advanced foreign language courses.
The design of this experiment was a pretest-posttest, experimental/control group design. The participants in the treatment group participated in a ten-week career guidance program involving strategies to increase career maturity and improve internal locus of control utilizing the results of the Career Maturity Inventory, Counseling Form B-1 and the Different Situations Inventory. / Ed.

"Daughters of freemen still": female textile operatives and the changing face of Lowell, 1820-1850Murphy, John B. 12 March 2009 (has links)
This thesis investigates the female labor force of the Lowell textile mills from 1820 to 1850. First, it describes the development of the Lowell system and the philosophy on which it was founded. Next, it examines the working conditions in the mills and the daily lives of the women who worked in them. Finally, it describes the circumstances that brought about labor unrest and ultimately a complete change in the work force at Lowell, from the young, single, New England farm women to immigrant laborers. A variety of primary sources, such as letters, diaries, essays and poems written by the mill workers themselves, provide insights into how these women viewed their work, their lives, and the events that transformed the factories and city of Lowell. / Master of Arts

Women, work, and family: ways to well-beingStripling, Mary Ann Hamilton 13 October 2005 (has links)
The purpose of this research is to identify combinations of variables that most affect well-being among employed women. A hypothesized model of the stress and coping process examines the influence of situational demands on mediators, and mediators on well-being. Job and family strain, as well as coping resources such as spousal support, social support, and coping strategies were proposed to mediate between situational demands, represented by husband’s chore time, number of children, job flexibility, job hours, career stage, and job status and the outcome variable, well-being. Data from a national sample of 277 married, employed women representing dual-employed families were subjected to path analytic analyses using LISREL 7. Findings generally supported the proposed model. Results suggest that both role strain and coping resources mediated the stressor effects of situational demands on well-being. / Ph. D.

Skofwerk van getroude vroue as sistemiese ontwrigting of behoud : 'n ekologiese modelDe Waard, Ilonka 06 1900 (has links)
Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Text in Afrikaans / Key terms in English and Afrikaans / Verskeie tekortkomings is in die bestaande konseptuele model en kwantitatiewe
navorsingsliteratuur oor skofwerk geidentifiseer. Ontevredenheid met die oorvereenvoudigde
oorsaak-gevolg-verklarings vir getroude vroue se skofwerkervaring het in
die studie gelei tot die ontwikkeling van 'n ekologiese model van vroueskofwerk.
Hierdie nuwe konseptuele model weerspieel 'n altematiewe benadering waar erkenning
gegee word aan die bestaan van meervoudige realiteite wat mense in konsensus deur
taal konstrueer. Die oogmerk met die ekologiese model is om, met inagneming van
vroueskofwerkers se wyer konteks, patrone te ondersoek van hoe die verskillende
beskrywings van getroude vroue se ervaring van skofwerk bymekaar pas. Daarmee kan
'n meer sistemiese begrip verkry word wat die kompleksiteit van menslike interaksie
respekteer. Die ekologiese model van vroueskofwerk is ontwikkel as 'n hulpmiddel vir
die waamemer om ryk, beskrywende ekologiese verhale te kan konstrueer van hoe
getroude vroue se belewing van skofwerk tot sistemiese ontwrigting of behoud kan lei. / Several shortcomings have been identified in the existing conceptual model and
quantitative research literature regarding shiftwork. Dissatisfaction with the
oversimplified cause-effect-explanations for married women's shiftwork experience has
led to the development of an ecological model of women shiftwork in this study. This
new conceptual model reflects an alternative approach where recognition is given to
the existence of multiple realities which are consensually created by people through
language. The aim with the ecological model, by taking into account the broader
context of women shiftworkers, is to search for patterns of how the different
descriptions of women's experience of shiftwork fit together. This offers a more
systemic view that respects the complexity of human interaction. The ecological model
for women shiftwork is developed as an aid to the observer to construct rich,
descriptive ecological stories about how married women's experience of shiftwork can
lead to systemic disruption or conservation. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
