Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that women are more likely to enter and succeed in male-dominated fields if they have strong self-efficacy, or belief in their own ability to perform well. Therefore, if Kelly can convince herself she can be successful in the traditionally male job, she is more likely to be employed in that role. Factors such as having a female mentor, being quiet and accommodating or having a non-threatening demeanor are not necessarily indicative of success or employment in a traditionally male occupation.
