Wage Expectations and the Future Earnings of Women Presented: New Orleans, LA, Meetings of the Southern Economic Association CSWEP Session, 1986 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: Southern Economic Association Keyword(s): Earnings; Gender Differences; Racial Differences; Self-Esteem; Sex Roles; Variables, Independent - Covariate; Wages, Women; Work Attitudes This study investigated sex and race differences in job satisfaction, ratings of supervisors' competence, and intention to re-enlist as a function of self esteem, sex role attitudes and proportion of female coworkers for black and white youth in the military. 829 black and white, male and female youth ranging in age from 16 to 23 who completed extensive interview questionnaires as part of the military subsample of the NLSY comprised the sample. It was predicted that a negative relationship would be found between self esteem, stereotypical sex role attitudes, and proportion of female coworkers as the independent variables, and job satisfaction, intention to re-enlist, and supervisors' competence ratings as the dependent variables. This negative relationship was hypothesized to be stronger for whites than for blacks, and for males than for females. None of these hypotheses were supported when the data were analyzed with correlation and regression procedures. Possible explanations for the lack of conclusive findings are discussed, along with the limitations of the present study, directions for future research, and implications for policy development regarding integrating women into military work settings.
