The literature on women's satisfaction and career adjustment encompasses a broad range of women's career experiences subsequent to entry into an occupation. The experiences most commonly investigated in relation to satisfaction include satisfaction in relation to work experiences and characteristics, satisfaction in relation to managing multiple roles, and satisfaction in relation to occupational transitions. Conclusions from this review include the need to use multidimensional assessments of satisfaction and to use more qualitative assessment strategies as they may be more sensitive to non-normative events than are standard quantitative approaches.
