摘要
This study, involving 224 employed adults (aged 40 to 69), investigated the potential moderating effect of gender on the effectiveness of developmental coping dispositions at work. Moderated regression results indicated that, even after controlling for occupational differences, tenacious, goal-directed coping tendencies were more highly related to occupational satisfaction and well-being for middle-aged and older men than for similar women (p < .05). These differences may reflect the operation of gender-role stereotypes that impede the progress of women at work.
