The hiring of women in construction and construction-related jobs has steadily increased over the years. A study was conducted to provide employers with information designed to reduce the potential for turnover of female employees (Journal of Professional Issues in Engineering Education & Practice, April 2013). A survey questionnaire was emailed to members of the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC). A total of 477 women responded to survey questions on job challenge and satisfaction with life as an employee. The results (number of females responding in the different categories) are summarized in the table (next page). What conclusions can you draw from the data regarding the association between an NAWIC member’s satisfaction with life as an employee and her satisfaction with job challenge?
