Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Economic and Management Sciences. Dept. of Industrial Psychology. Affirmative action programs Women -- Employment Discrimination in employment Dissertations -- Industrial psychology Thesis (MPhil) -- Stellenbosch University, 1995. In the society of today women must work twice as hard as their male counterparts to get to the top. Discrimination and favouritism as well as career difficulties unique to women lead thereto that women are not always given the same opportunities as men to develop their careers. Affirmative Action programmes are implemented to address this problem but if such programmes are not administered correctly, it can lead to even greater problems. No guidelines for employers could be found to address this problem and it is therefore the main aim of this study to develop guidelines for an employee assistance programme that addresses the career problems and difficulties experienced by women. The aim of this study therefore has a dual nature. Firstly attempts were made to identify the career problems and difficulties of women and secondly to set up guidelines for an employee assistance programme that addresses these problems directly. The questionnaire, namely the "StressMap", used in the study, was developed by Esther M. Orioli, Dennis T. Jaffe and Cynthia D. Scott (1987). It gives an indication of specific problem areas that a person is able to change, as well as such a person’s current ability to cope with stress and the effectiveness thereof. The questionnaire comprises two sections. The first section consists of biological data and the second section is compiled from the "StressMap" and is divided into four dimensions, namely the environment, coping abilities, the inner world and signs of concern, which includes 21 scales. The population on which the study focuses are women of all race groups who benefited from an Affirmative Action programme. A sample of 400 women was randomly drawn from within a large insurance company. The statistical processing of the data consisted of three steps, namely the intercorrelation of items, confirmatory principal component analysis and explorative factor analysis. The first step determined the factorability of the matrix. During the confirmatory principal component analysis it was attempted to replicate the 21 scales of the "StressMap" and during this analysis 21 factors were specified in order to establish whether these correspond with the 21 scales. After investigation of the simple structure, this line of enquiry was discontinued because no correlation could be found between the 21 factors and the 21 scales of the "StressMap". The "StressMap" could therefore not be replicated. The explorative factor analysis, being the second step of the process of analysis, consists of two phases, namely first-order and higher-order factor analysis. During the first-order factor analysis, 68 factors were drawn of which 46 factors were suitable for further analysis. Higher-order factor analysis was conducted on these 46 factors during which 12 factors are drawn. The first-order and higher-order simple structure went through an interpretation process during which each factor was studied individually, in conjunction with the items which load onto each factor. The nature and common aspects of the items which load onto a factor contributes to the identification and naming of such a factor. The first- and higher-order simple structure were compared with each other and the higher-order structure was adjudged the best structure because it gave a good indication of the identified factor/problem areas in the higher-order factor structure. Six factors/problem areas were identified: work satisfaction, role conflict, fear of success, work pressure, coping with stress, and assertiveness. Response frequency analysis was done on each of the higher-order factors to establish to what extent the respondents experienced the problem areas. The result applicable to each problem area was as follows: work satisfaction – 89.4%, role conflict – 85.3%, fear of success – 53.9%, work pressure – 51.2%, coping with stress – 74.6% and assertiveness – 79.7%. In light of this, guidelines for an employee assistance programme were given to accommodate career problems and difficulties, which were identified and confirmed in the study.
