Gender,Pay and Work Satisfaction at a UK University

This article examines a modern, former polytechnic granted the status of university in 1992, to illustrate the state gender pay gap in the UK and suggests that to talk of the state pay gap is too simplistic as it does not take into account variations in the size of the pay gap in different job grades. The article also examines satisfaction levels with pay for two groups of staff, administrative and academic and shows how satisfaction with pay, promotion and conditions also varies between the grades. Previous research that concluded that women are more satisfied with their pay than men is, again, too simplistic as it does not consider the affect of staff grade. The article argues that there is a link between the size of the pay gap, staff grade, occupational gender segregation and expressing dissatisfaction.     

In search of career satisfaction: African-American public relations practitioners, pigeonholing, and the workplace

The goals of the research were to explore African-American practitioners’ satisfaction with public relations as a career and to examine their perceptions of tokenism and pigeonholing in the workplace. Three key themes emerged from the research: career entry and social support in public relations; encounters with everyday racism; and pigeonholing in public relations. For the majority of 12 African-American practitioners interviewed, they have experienced discrimination in their careers and in public relations, yet the practitioners did not see themselves as pigeonholed in their roles or positions. The complete study can be requested from the author.     

The Medical Center's Impact in the Network to Sustain the Aged in the Community

A process is described to show how a Social Work Department of a Medical Center ascertained the need to offer a continuum of comprehensive services to a high risk elderly population. This includes aiding and participating with the board and administration of the Medical Center to develop a varied network of services programs. A community based program model is used to show the utilization of individual and group modalities in working with this age population. Clinical material is incorporated to emphasize that aging clients are accessible for psychosocial interventions and can utilize their ego strengths through group living and group counseling. Experiences will highlight that behavioral changes can be brought about through a reintegration of social, emotional, and environmental forces.

“吴满有方向”的富农举措及当代启示

“吴满有方向”是学习吴满有运动中的口号和目标，即经济上是要努力成为劳动和发展生产的模范，政治上成为拥护革命和公私兼顾的模范。“吴满有方向”不仅是一场农业领域的学习劳模运动，更多的是从政治、社会文化视角对发展农村经济，改善农民生活的探索。边区党和政府关于充分发挥劳动效能、发展多种经营、减轻农民负担、鼓励农村“冒尖户”、普及农业科学知识等体现“吴满有方向”的富农举措与当前解决“三农”问题的许多理念不谋而合，对当前农业的发展以及农民的致富也具有借鉴作用。     

公共事业管理专业学生学习满意度:现状、影响因素及提升对策——以南京市部分高校为例

对南京七所高校公共事业管理专业学生学习满意度现状的调查与统计分析结果显示,专业课程设置满意度与教师授课满意度尚可,但专业满意度、实践性环节课程以及学校专业建设投入满意度等却普遍偏低。而专业定位尚欠清晰、课程设置不够科学与合理、底子薄弱、师资弱化以及投入不足等则是其主要影响因素。因此,准确定位专业、构建科学与合理的专业课程体系、加大专业投入、强化师资队伍建设、培养学生专业兴趣与提升学生学习能力等,无疑成为公共事业管理专业学生学习满意度提升的有效方法。

夫妻权利与婚姻满意度关系研究——基于2006全国综合调查的数据分析

根据2006年全国综合调查（CGSS2006）的数据，本文探讨了夫妻权利运行的三个要素：权力基础（教育差、年收入差）；权利过程（互诉烦恼、对钱不同意见频率）；权利结果（家务差、家庭事务决定权）对婚姻满意度的具体影响。多元回归分析表明：权利过程是影响婚姻满意度最重要的环节，其中配偶向被访者诉说烦恼和对钱不同意见频率都有显著影响：教育差虽也有一定的负向显著度，但其影响程度较小；夫妻年收入差、家务差和家庭事务决定权并无显著性。     

不同家庭结构中的老年人主观生活评价分析——基于贵阳市调查数据的实证检验

利用贵阳市调查数据,对不同家庭结构中的老年人生活状况和生活满意度进行分析。文章假定:主干家庭中的老年人生活状况及满意度高于核心家庭,而核心家庭高于夫妇家庭和单身家庭。即:主干家庭>核心家庭>夫妇家庭>单身家庭(">"表示优于)。并从老年人对其生活状况(包括经济状况、生活照料、精神慰藉)和生活满意度的主观感受和评价来考察这一假定。结果发现:夫妇家庭中的老年人主观生活状况及满意度最高,单身老年人次之。新的次序变为:夫妇家庭>单身家庭>主干家庭>核心家庭。文章对此进行了解释。分析还发现,生活自由度可能是影响老年人主观生活评价的一个重要指标。
