Abstract
Correlational and factor analytical studies were conducted to develop and evaluate a scale of work orientations for women, the Work Role Ori entation Scale (WROS). Subjects totalled over 600. They were female un dergraduates and saleswomen employed in the insurance, banking and pub lishing industry. Subjects were administered the WROS and selected per sonality measures. The saleswomen's turnover intention, sales performa nce and job satisfaction were also assessed The test-retest reliabilit y for the WROS was found to be r(65) = .77, p <.05. Validity coefficie nts for the WROS when based on sales performance were found to be .20 and .23.
