Abstract
Gender differences in career decidedness, expectations for success, and relative importance of career-related outcomes were examined in undergraduate college students. No gender difference was observed on certainty of career decision, degree of indecision, or on expectations for success. No gender difference was observed on several outcomes, including opportunities for promotions, leadership, social status, or high income. However, women did place greater importance than men on flexible work schedules, opportunities to manage family life, and opportunities for service. Such outcomes are perceived to minimize the potential for work-family conflict.
