Abstract

Survey results from 177 female managers indicate that there is very little difference between those employed by small firms (less than 100 employees) and those employed by larger firms. This study indentified only four areas of difference between the groups. Most biographical and job-related data examined were not significantly different for both groups, and both groups wanted essentially the same rewards from their jobs.
