Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored how feminism as a social identity impacts how women interpret their career and life experiences. The overarching research question that guided the study was: How do feminist-identified women make sense of their feminist identity, life experiences, and career path? The theoretical framework that provided the lens for the study included feminist, multicultural, intersectionality, and career development theories. Two distinct bodies of literature were reviewed to provide a foundation for the study: (a) women's career development, in particular, the supports and barriers experienced, and (b) feminist identity, including influences to adopting the feminist label and factors associated with a feminist identity such as the expectation of egalitarian relationships. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was the research design and informed the data collection and analysis. Eight college-educated and feminist-identified women participated in the study and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Four themes emerged through the data analysis: (a) personal journey to feminism, (b) community of support, (c) adversity experienced, and (d) empowerment and authenticity. Although there were a few limitations around generalizability, the findings suggest a connection between feminist identity and career choices as well as the positive impact women can have on other women through providing inspiration, mentoring, and support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More women are entering the workforce (Betz, 2005), and these women have an interest in managing multiple life roles (Hoffnung, 2004). Multiple roles can be beneficial (Barnett & Hyde, 2001) or problematic (Adelmann, 1994) for one's overall well-being, and can be determined by one's subjective perception of ability to manage roles. This study examined multiple role management through the lens of social cognitive career theory (Lent, Brown, & Hackett, 1994) within a female sample. Maternal role modeling and feminist identification were proposed to function as predictors of self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations for multiple role management. Within the social cognitive career theory model, these predictors were operationalized as learning experiences of young women hypothesized to influence confidence to manage life roles of worker, parent, and partner. These three roles were selected for the present study based on their common assessment in prior literature (Hoffnung, 2004; Kerpelman & Schvaneveldt, 1999; Riggio & Desrochers, 2006; Tingey, Kiger, & Riley, 1996) and research that indicated these three roles as ideal life roles among young women (Bridges, 1987). Data were collected from 422 undergraduate women at a Midwestern University. Participants completed a self-efficacy for multiple role management measure modeled from the SEERM (Lefcourt, 1995), the Influence of Others on Academic and Career Decisions Scale (Nauta & Kokaly, 2001), a maternal role modeling measure developed based on literature (Weer et al., 2006), the Feminist Identity Composite (Fisher et al., 2000), the Feminist Beliefs and Behavior measure (Zucker, 2004), a multiple roles outcome expectations measure developed based on literature (Fouad & Guillen, 2006; Lent & Brown, 2006), a checklist to assess participants' identified primary role models, and an open-ended item for participants to describe concluding comments. Structural equation model analyses demonstrated inadequate fit between the model and data. Findings demonstrated significant paths extending from feminist identity to self-efficacy expectations, feminist identity to outcome expectations, and self-efficacy expectations to outcome expectations. Exploratory analyses involving substitution of maternal role modeling items with the IOACDS revealed maternal role modeling significantly predicted self-efficacy expectations. Findings were explained based on the conceptualization of variables and measurement concerns.

Download or read book Career Assessment written by Mary McMahon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career Assessment: Qualitative Approaches will assume a seminal place in the field of career development as the first book to focus solely on qualitative approaches to career assessment. This book represents a timely and important contribution to career development as it seeks to meet the needs of increasingly diverse client groups. Part 1, Foundations strongly positions qualitative career assessment in its historical, philosophical, theoretical and research contexts. The book is innovative by considering qualitative career assessment through the lens of learning. Part 2, Instruments, presents the first collation of chapters on a comprehensive range of qualitative career assessment instruments and processes written to a standard format to enable readers to compare, contrast and evaluate approaches. Part 3, Using quantitative career assessment qualitatively, mitigates against depicting an unnecessary divide in the field between quantitative and qualitative career assessment by considering their complementarities. Part 4, Diverse Contexts, considers qualitative approaches to career assessment in contexts other than able western, middle class settings. Part 5, Future Directions, reflects on the chapters and poses suggestions for the future. With high profile authors from nine different countries, the book represents a truly international contribution to the field of career development. In its focus on qualitative career assessment, this book holds a unique position as the only such text and will therefore assume an important place in the libraries of researchers, academics, and career practitioners.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexism is a significant social problem that deeply affects women's lives, and a large body of research has demonstrated the relationship between discrimination and negative outcomes for women. Feminist consciousness has been suggested as means of challenging these deleterious effects by providing women with a mental framework through which to contextualize and understand this discrimination (Landrine & Klonoff, 1997). Downing and Roush's (1985) model of feminist identity development has been the most commonly used form of conceptualizing women's feminist consciousness but this theory fails to differentiate between the attributes of feminist self-labeling and acceptance of a feminist worldview. In order to provide a more nuanced understanding of how feminist traits relate to women's empowerment the present study used Downing and Roush's five feminist identity styles as a means of operationalizing different orientations to feminist consciousness. These feminist attitudes and feminist self-identification were explored jointly and separately in their connection with personal empowerment specifically as it is conceptualized in feminist therapy theory. A total of 612 traditional college-age undergraduate women (18 to 25 years old) completed a series of online questionnaires to assess feminist attitudes, feminist self-labeling, and personal empowerment. Results support the idea that there are conceptually distinct aspects of feminist consciousness that can be effectively operationalized by Downing and Roush's five identity styles, that there is a significant difference between each of the identity styles of both feminist-identified and non-feminist-identified women, and that there are significant discrepancies between the identity style scores of women who do versus do not self-label as feminist. The present data also provide support for previous research which has suggested that there are positive consequents associated with feminist self-labeling and with the recognition of the existence of sexism that stems from holding pro-feminist attitudes, reflecting a noteworthy relationship between feminist consciousness and personal empowerment.
Download or read book Like Mother Like Daughter written by Armstrong, Jill and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2017-10-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women are encouraged to believe that they can occupy top jobs in society by the example of other women thriving in their careers. Who better to be a role model for career success than your mother? Paradoxically, this book shows that having a mother as a role model, even for graduates of top universities, does not predict daughters progressing in their own careers. It finds that mothers with careers, whilst highly influential in their daughters’ choice of career path, rarely mentor their daughters as they progress. This is partly explained by ‘quiet ambition’ – the tendency of women to be modest about their achievements. Bigger issues are the twin pressures from contemporary motherhood and workplace culture that ironically lead career women’s daughters to believe that being a ‘good mother’ means working part-time. This stalls career progress. Based on a large, cross-generational qualitative sample, this book offers a timely and original perspective on the debate about gender equality in leadership positions.
Download or read book The Illusions Of Post Feminism written by Vicki Coppock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1995. As feminists reflect on the impact of the 'second wave' of feminism, and assess the gains of the last thirty years, invariably they have questioned whether claims that women have achieved equality are justified. In the late 1980s, there was a proliferation of popular imagery of 'new' men and 'post-feminist' women, with the concept of 'post-feminism' reinforcing and emphasizing the differences between independent, upwardly-mobile, career orientated women, and those women who 'choose' the more 'natural' role of wife and mother. The Illusions of'Post-Feminism':New Women, Old Myths maintains that 'post-feminism' is a myth. Through in-depth interviews with women about four major areas of their lives: education, work, the media and the family, the authors challenge and expose the myths implicit in the concept of 'post-feminism'. The research illustrates that women's discontent continues, despite the assumption that gender equality would result from equal opportunities legislation. The chapters highlight the ineffective nature of liberal reformism and demonstrate how power relations still lie at the root of the oppression of women. With its provoking and challenging analysis, this revealing book breaks the silence of women's real experiences by showing the actuality of women's lives today.
