Coping with the Changing Realities of Work and Life

Mindy L. Gewirtz, Mary Alston Fitts, Jennifer Goodrich, and Peter Gumpert

This study concerns the experience of 561 women and 165 men in new economy companies, and compares the experiences of women at two significant points in time. The results of the 2002 survey extend the initial results of the survey, Women in the New Economy: Insights and Realities, that was done in 2000 and include a broader sample of women, and add a comparable group of men to examine similarities and differences. The results do more than track current workplace trends. They indicate how positive and negative workplace conditions have a significant impact on the lives of respondents. The findings may also help us identify the characteristics of organizational environments that make it easier—or more difficult—for people to cope with and snap back from other sources of difficulty such as an economic downturn, and a profoundly disturbing event such as 9/11.
