A comparison of top and middle level women administrators in social work, nursing, and education: career supports and barriers
Abstract
Presented are findings from a descriptive study of a national stratified random sample of 259 women administrators in social work, nursing, and education. Subjects responded to a fifty-four-item, mailed questionnaire about their career experiences. Career support from parents and persons within their work organizations, barriers of sex discrimination, difficulties balancing career and family responsibilities, and the extent to which the women administrators provided career assistance to other women are all discussed. Comparisons between the three fields and between top- and middle-management levels are emphasized. Recommendations are made for increasing women's opportunities for career achievement within the field studied.
