| The purpose of this paper is to analyze how career choice and factors
that influence them differ between female and male. The main research
instrument was a questionnaire given to 124 Administrative and
Diplomatic Service Officers attending a course. The findings revealed
that decisions made on career choice did not differ significantly among
different sexes. Indeed, factors that control a person’s career choice
do not depend on gender. This is consistent with findings which showed
that career dominance by a certain sex is a thing of the past. |
