The Relationship between Work and Well-Being in Clergywomen: Implications for Career Counseling
Frame, Marsha Wiggins; Shehan, Constance L.
Journal of Employment Counseling, v42 n1 p10 Mar 2005
This article focuses on the ministry, a profession in which 2 important characteristics intersect to pose special challenges for women in balancing their work and family responsibilities. In this qualitative study of clergywomen (N = 190), the authors examined the impact of being female in a male-dominated occupation, particularly one that has been traditionally structured as a "2-person career." They argue that career counselors are in a unique position to prepare future clergywomen for the special challenges they will face in the ministry and make recommendations for ways in which career counselors may serve this distinctive population.
