The Correlation Between Work Empowerment And The Ownership Of Feminist Beliefs In Working College Women, Taylor Marino Jan 2022

The Correlation Between Work Empowerment And The Ownership Of Feminist Beliefs In Working College Women, Taylor Marino

Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects

The correlation between work empowerment and attitudes of feminism in people who identify as women while simultaneously working and attending college has not previously been assessed. The aim of this study is to identify what relationship, if any, exists between these constructs. The scales utilized will be the work empowerment scale developed by Spreitzer (1995) and the FEM scale developed by Smith, Ferree, and Miller (1975). Based on previous literature, it can be hypothesized that greater feminist attitudes will be correlated with higher levels of work empowerment.
