The original study, using a survey research design, determined that encouragement from a mentor(s) followed by consciousness­raising were the two best strategies for promoting a female social work student's interest in a career in administration. The replication was modified only slightly with the inclusion of two additional independent variables. Some of the replication findings did concur with the original study, particularly among variables which appear not to be significant predictors of a female social work student's interest in an administrative career. however, encouragement from peers/colleagues was found in the replication to be more important than encouragement from mentors or consciousness-raising. One firm conclusion can be drawn from the findings of both studies - any strategy to promote interest in administration among female social workers must focus on active encouragement from as many sources of informal support as possible.x, 114 leaves ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
