This study compared women pharmacists' job characteristics, salary, benefits, and job satisfaction to those of their male colleagues. A mail questionnaire was sent to 1700 North Carolina employee pharmacists in August 1978. Approximately 478 pharmacists responded, yielding a 28% return rate. Job satisfaction was measured with the job descriptive index (JDI). Approximately 29% of women versus 5% of men worked part-time. To avoid biasing the results, further analysis excluded all part-time pharmacists. Women earned less than their male counterparts primarily because fewer women held management positions. Hypothesizing that the discrepancy was due to the recent entry of women into the profession, the data were analyzed holding age, years in practice, and time in present job constant. The significant difference in employment status by sex remained. No differences were found in job satisfaction by sex that were not attributable to age. Possible reasons for these results are hypothesized.
本研究将女性药剂师的工作特点、薪资、福利及工作满意度与其男性同事进行了比较。1978年8月，向北卡罗来纳州的1700名在职药剂师发送了邮件调查问卷。约478名药剂师回复，回复率为28%。工作满意度采用工作描述指数（JDI）进行衡量。约29%的女性药剂师与5%的男性药剂师从事兼职工作。为避免结果出现偏差，进一步分析排除了所有兼职药剂师。女性收入低于男性同行，主要原因是担任管理职位的女性较少。假设这种差异是由于女性近期进入该行业所致，在年龄、从业年限和现任工作时长保持不变的情况下对数据进行了分析。按性别划分的就业状况仍存在显著差异。未发现与年龄无关的按性别划分的工作满意度差异。对这些结果的可能原因进行了假设。
