Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the perceived self-concept of employed and unemployed educated women. The study also examined the relationship of perceived self-concept with the type of employment and period of service of the employed women. The sample consisted of 150 employed and 150 unemployed educated married women residing in an urban area of Patna. The self-concept scale of Deo (1985) was used in the study. The findings showed that the perceived self of the employed women was significantly higher than that of the unemployed women. The employed women scored relatively higher in each of the five attributes of the perceived self; ie. Aesthetic, Emotional, Character, Intellectual and Social. It was concluded, from this study, that employment leads to a higher self-concept among educated women, which however varied with different types of employment.
