Abstract:
|
This survey of 2000 business executives in the United States yielded a 17.7% response rate. The questionnaire sought answers to questions about quality of life versus education, work experience, number of children, age, gender and marital status. The data produced several significant differences for the above demographics of business executives. Executives with lower education levels feel their work interferes less with family responsibility than their more educated counterparts. Older executives manage their family responsibilities better than executives younger than fifty-one. Married and widowed executives have better quality of home life than single or divorced executives. Executives that are single are the least satisfied with their careers.
