Abstract
This study involved the investigation of (i) sex differences and (ii) job level differences in work orientation. One hundred and ninety-four hospital employees participated. A three-way analysis of variance design with unequal cell sizes was used. The results revealed no sex difference in work orientation. Significant effects for both job level and marital status were obtained. A three-way interaction effect between sex, job level and marital status also emerged. These results demonstrate that once job level and educational level are controlled, the accepted sex difference in work motivation is eliminated. This suggests that the widely-held view that women are less intrinsically motivated than men is not a justifiable generalization.
