Abstract

This study is a survey design set to determine the adjustment patterns of professional women to their male colleagues' attitude in their work setting. Data was collected from 450 respondents in Rivers state, using the stratified random sampling, and four variables were used to test the hypothesis. Results showed that there is no significant difference in the women's adjustment patterns to their male colleagues' attitude in their work place. However one of the variables (sexual advances) was significant, showing that women in the public sector adjust better than their counterparts in the private sector. Further analysis of the result in simple percentage show the adjustment patterns of professional women. It reveals that a higher percentage of professional women caution their male colleagues when they spite their authority, persuade them not to undermine their decisions, avoid their profane jokes and object strongly to their sexual advances.
