They taught me how to fight, keep my chin up, and go when I didn’t want to go. Thank you to Dr. Rob Hardin for not giving up on me and for being so enthusiastic about my dissertation idea even when I wasn’t. You taught me to work together and to not be afraid to express my own original thoughts. I am grateful for your advisement and for giving me a chance in the program. I am a better person because of it. Dr. Steven Waller, I am most appreciative of your willingness to work and serve on my committee. The gift of your time was invaluable in the life of this student.

Thank you for telling me to read when I needed to know more. I am educated by having your Ethics course, but I am also educated by your example. Dr. Lisa Fall, thank you for taking me on as a mentee and for giving me all the pointers in the school of life. I have learned that I must give myself a break from time to v time and that balance is the name of the game. You welcomed me into your family and provided me with a great amount of guidance in all things dissertation. To my dearest friend, Donna Bradley Lancaster, I am so blessed to have you in my life. For over 15 years, it’s hard to thank you in a couple of lines so I’ll just say thank you and see you at CB.

The instrument, a three-part questionnaire, was composed of two Likert-type scales as well as several demographic questions. The first section contained the Job Satisfaction Scale ([JSS], Spector, 1997) which is made up of nine facets: pay, promotion, fringe benefits, contingent rewards, supervision, coworkers, operating procedures, nature of work, and communication. The second section, designed to measure employee motivation contained the 12-statement Motivation at Work Scale ([MAWS], Gagné et. al, 2010) comprised of four subscales: intrinsic, identified, introjected, and external motivations. Household structure, professional status, and age were selected from the collected demographic variables to examine relationships with job satisfaction. Findings indicated AWSM members were ambivalent with their jobs, were most satisfied with the nature of the work itself, and were most strongly motivated to continue in their careers by intrinsic factors. Household structure, including marital status and whether the participant had children under age 18 living in the home, were not areas of significance in the job satisfaction of AWSM members. Members indicated they were most likely satisfied in the nature of the work itself based on intrinsic motivators and were least likely to be vii externally motivated to do their jobs as was shown in the low number of and association with the nine facets and overall job satisfaction. Job satisfaction of AWSM members tends to follow a career stage path, evident in the significant associations found with the selected demographic variable of age. The areas of contingent rewards and communication satisfaction decreased as these variables increased, providing a possible pattern for employers striving for employee satisfaction. Findings indicated a trend in the career motivation of participants, also in line with Deci and Ryan’s (1982) self-determination theory that posits the needs of employee autonomy, competence, and relatedness to be associated with greater employee satisfaction. viii Table of Contents Chapter I: Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 Introduction To The Chapter......................................................................................................................... 1 Overview of Title IX ..................................................................................................................................... 3 Significance of The Study ............................................................................................................................. 6 Challenges in the Profession ....................................................................................................................... 12 Glass Barriers .............................................................................................................................................. 15 Overview of Job Satisfaction ...................................................................................................................... 18 Overview of Motivational Theory .............................................................................................................. 19 Statement of the Problem ............................................................................................................................ 20 Purpose of the Study ..................................................................................................................................

Kuhn By MARY LYNN BRENNAN* I Introduction Sports reporting, long the province of male writers, is a major field of journalism that is now beginning to open up to women.2 But getting the job as a sportswriter is only half the battle. When sports teams deny women writers equal access to their locker rooms for post-game interviews, they deny wo- men an equal chance to compete with their male counterparts. In response to being barred from the New York Yankees locker room during the 1977 World Series, Melissa Ludtke, a sportswriter for Sports Illustrated, and its publisher, Time, Inc., brought a suit against the New York Yankees, Major League Baseball, and the City of New York.3 The 1978 suit, filed in the Southern District Court of New York, claimed that the New York Yankees were violating Ms.
