Career patterns of the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration alumnae

Description

This study was conducted to determine those factors that facilitate and/or impede the career development of women in management. In November 1974, questionnaires were mailed to the 1,114 female students of the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration who graduated between 1938 and 1963 (the span of the program's existence) for whom the alumnae office had addresses. A total of 828 women completed the questionnaire and were included in the study. An additional 11 questionnaires were received but not coded since they arrived after the deadline. The questionnaire consists of short answer and precoded questions regarding background and demographic information, employment and volunteer history, salary and other work-related measures, family involvement, and the Harvard-Radcliffe Program in Business Administration. All computer-accessible and paper data are available.
