Acknowledging the need for additional research on work-related motives and self-esteem in American women, this study investigated the hypothesis that women with a favorable self-esteem would score high in n Ach, in Pow, and n Auto, whereas women with a less favorable self-esteem would score high in n Aff, n Agg, and n Def. Eighty-five female college students completed Gough and Heilbrun's Adjective Check List and Form B of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory. Data were analyzed by means of chi square tests in conjunction with the coefficient of association asymmetric lambda. The results indicated that, as predicted, women with a favorable self-esteem scored high in n Ach (p less than .001) and n Pow (p less than .001), while contrary to expectation, they also scored high in n Aff (p less than .05). All other relationships were found to be nonreliable. These findings were interpreted as stressing the importance of the relationship between self-esteem and work-related motives in women.
认识到有必要对美国女性与工作相关的动机和自尊进行更多研究，本研究调查了以下假设：自尊良好的女性在成就需求（n Ach）、权力需求（Pow）和自主需求（n Auto）方面得分较高，而自尊较差的女性在亲和需求（n Aff）、攻击需求（n Agg）和防御需求（n Def）方面得分较高。八十五名女大学生完成了高夫和海尔布伦的形容词检查表以及库珀史密斯自尊量表的B表。数据通过卡方检验结合非对称关联系数拉姆达进行分析。结果表明，正如预测的那样，自尊良好的女性在成就需求（p <.001）和权力需求（p <.001）方面得分较高，而与预期相反，她们在亲和需求方面得分也较高（p <.05）。发现所有其他关系都不可靠。这些发现被解释为强调了女性自尊与工作相关动机之间关系的重要性。
