A total of 103 respondents from one of the China’s retailing company are selected as respondents and thus data is analyzed based on the completed questionnaires.

Surveys and interviews were administered to both civilian and military food service workers at two Air Force bases to assess job satisfaction, opinions about environmental and equipment features relevant to potential human factors problems, and opinions about additional training. Results indicated that while military personnel were somewhat more unhappy about their work, civilian workers also expressed dissatisfaction. Overall, the workers were least satisfied with promotions, pay, and the work itself; and more satisfied with their co-workers and supervisors. In the human factors area, workers were particularly concerned with the heat in their kitchens and the inadequacy (both agewise and qualitywise) of their equipment. Several young military workers expressed a desire to leave the food service area. A recommendation for the inclusion of the worker-human factors analysis in future assessments of food service systems is made.

Using data from the American Bar Association's National Survey of Career Satisfaction/Dissatisfaction (1990), the authors estimate the incidence and impact of sexual harassment in the legal profession. Nearly two-thirds of female lawyers in private practice and nearly half of those in corporate or public agency settings reported either experiencing or observing sexual harassment by male superiors, colleagues, or clients during the two years prior to the survey. Female lawyers who had experienced or observed sexual harassment by male superiors or colleagues reported lower overall job satisfaction than did those who had not, as well as a greater intention to quit. The authors speculate that employers and coworkers may sometimes be able to sexually harass female employees in ways or degrees that are not sanctionable but that induce the victims to quit. Sexual harassment may contribute to an undetermined extent to many aspects of women's employment experience, including absenteeism, turnover, productivity rates and work motivation, job dissatisfaction, and unemployment. —MacKinnon, Sexual Harassment of Working Women
