Self-Efficacy of Women in Traditional and Nontraditional Occupations: Differences in Working with People and Things.

Whiston, Susan C.

Journal of Career Development, v19 n3 p175-86 Spr 1993

When 96 of 220 women in nontraditional occupations and 100 of 300 in traditional occupations completed self-efficacy scales, results showed employed women do have higher self-efficacy for working with people than with things. Among the differences between the two groups, traditional women had higher self-efficacy for serving and helping, nontraditional women for mentoring. (SK)
