In particular this study answered the following questions: (1) What is the relationship between the amount of training employees received from the workplace and wage? (2) What is the relationship between the amount of training employees received from the workplace and career aspirations achievement? (3) What is the relationship between employees' self-concept and wage? (4) What is the relationship between employees' self-concept and career aspirations achievement?

The results of the correlation analysis supported three of the four research hypothesis. Training was shown to have a positive relationship to the work outcomes of wage and career aspirations achievement. Self-concept was only found to have a positive relationship to career aspirations achievement. Even though training and self-concept were shown to have positive correlations with wage and career aspirations achievement, when the regression analyses were conducted they were shown to have very little direct impact on the amount of variance associated with each of these variables.

It appears that it is not the individual variables that impact the work outcomes of wage and career aspirations achievement, but that it is the way these variables interact with the individual and workplace variables that impact the work outcomes. In addition, variables outside of the scope of this study may account for a large portion of the variance in wage and career aspirations achievement. The interaction between the variables in this study, and other variables outside of the scope of this study, are worthy of further investigation. Finally, further study in regards to the interaction of the variables used in this study is required to gain a fuller understanding of how much influence they have on each other and the overall impact on wage and career aspirations achievement.
