‘Personal fulfilment’ drives most working women

Posted in News on the September 10th, 2007

More than twice as many working women are motivated by the personal fulfilment that their job affords them than by financial rewards, according to new research.

Publishing new data this week, Diva-Biz has suggested that the majority (51 per cent) of women feel that personal fulfilment is the driving force which drives them into certain talent pools and to seek new roles, whether it be through regional recruitment portals or e-recruitment.

Meanwhile, only 23 per cent suggested that money was their primary motivation, onrec.com reports.

In news likely to be of interest to those seeking to fill charity jobs or other roles in the not for profit sector, founder of the firm Fiona Price remarks: "Undoubtedly, women generally do business in a different way to men and need different business support with an emphasis on role models, networking and mentoring."

Earlier this year, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development published a report on the ‘glass cliff’ phenomenon, where women are subjected to a set of "contextual conditions" when taking on high-level roles.
