Fifty-one male-female matched pairs of university professors were studied with the Job Description Index (JDI). Subjects were matched on four variables known to relate to job satisfaction. Five dependent t test outcomes were reported as were two omega-squared outcomes. It was found that three / tests were nonsignificant (JDI variables of work, pay, and promotions) and two were significant at the .05 level (JDI variables of supervision and co-workers). Omega-squared values of .04 were obtained for the two significant / tests. It was concluded that either no significant sex differences in job satisfaction exist or that, if found, the differences are not psychological meaningful.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
