A study examined job satisfaction of Delaware women who are working in occupations that are nontraditional for females. A total of 217 respondents (out of a possible 527) returned surveys that focused on the identification of the positive aspects of the jobs. Overall job satisfaction was high, according to 86 percent of the respondents. Satisfying job factors were the chance to do things for others, geographic location of the job, the chance to work alone, the chance to use abilities, the freedom to use one's own judgment, and the chance to do different things. The most dissatisfying job factors were the opportunity for advancement, salary earned, the way the supervisor handles people, and praise received for doing best job. Women overwhelmingly responded that job-related training was most effective in getting them ready to handle the position. The most challenging aspects of the nontraditional job were those that related to meeting the public and customer satisfaction and meeting their needs. Over 83 percent were not eager to change jobs. Respondents cited the following as the most important aspects for women to be made aware of as they enter nontraditional occupations: demands of the job and relationships with coworkers and supervisors. Over half of the respondents said they were able to combine work and family roles successfully. Forty-five percent were totally responsible for the major earnings in their households.
