The purpose of this study was to examine two aspects on the occupational-life consciousness among female clerical workers.
One of them was directed toward examining the difference of their occupational-life consciousness based on demographic factors (especially, their household types and educational background).
Regarding the household type, it was found that married women, and single women living alone were more positive toward their occupational lives than single women living with their parents. Moreover, regarding the educational background, it was found that university graduates and professional school graduates were more positive in their occupational orientations than junior college graduates and high school graduates.
The second purpose of the study was to examine the level- of women's ego-involvement in occupational lives as compared with their male counterparts, It was found that on the level of present job satisfaction and the level of life expectation in coming ten years, women were higher than men.
