SELF ESTEEM: HOW IS IT WITH WOMEN EMPLOYEES?

P. Kokilavani, Dr. M. Punitha

Abstract :

 Employment has become increasingly significant in the lives of women.  The modern women is trying to be happier and better adjusted by the relinquishing the traditional and modern role by combining the two roles. When a woman goes out to work, she shakes off the feeling of subordination which she might feel while staying at home. Work provides a woman with more self-esteem and to some extent satisfies her need for recognition freedom, power, independence, and the need for social contacts.  The reason for higher self-esteem among employed women than non-employed women may be because of the fact that employment is associated with enhanced self esteem and life satisfaction. For those women who did not think of the paid work role as a long term life goal, employment was not linked to higher self-esteem of life satisfaction.  Satisfaction with job and salience of the occupational role has been found to be higher in working women and explains their being higher on self-esteem than non-working women.  Another reason is that house wife’s face more stress, because of lack of financial independence and support.
