Corporations and Two Career Families: Directions for the Future, 1980
Listed in Harvard Dataverse
The purpose of this study was to explore two-career families and the corporations that employ them to determine how the couples are managing their lives and what the corporations are doing to help or hinder couples in a dual career situation.
Description
A sample of 407 Fortune 1300 corporations responded to a four-page questionnaire. Eight-hundred- sixteen couples (1,632 respondents) who satisfied the requirements responded individually to identical six-page questionnaires.
A couple was included if the wife had a career in the business community. The husband's career could be in any professional field. Major questions addressed in the corporate survey include attitudes about and the effect of two-career families on recruitment and relocation practices, productivity, and profit; steps taken by the corporation to alleviate the problems of two-career families; satisfaction with formal or informal programs; and further steps to address the issue.

Questions addressed in the couples survey included social, economic, and geographic characteristics of two-career couples; how they balance demands of effectiveness at work and responsibility to family; how couples handle relocation, child care, and household responsibilities; satisfaction with careers, marriage, and combination of the two; and kinds and amounts of stress experienced. The Murray Research Archive holds numeric file data from both questionnaires; in addition, a subset of the numeric file data comprised of 500 couples and 174 variables was created specifically for use in research methodology and statistics courses.
