This study examines the influence of sex on satisfaction with job related factors, overall job satisfaction, attitudes toward various motivators, and overall job motivation among managers. Using a statistical analysis of survey data, the study identifies many significant differences between male and female managers'perceptions and attitudes. The article then compares the findings to previous research, presents some questions pertinent to policy formation, and suggests avenues for future research.Keywords
