Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Existing research has shown that parents influence their children in terms of the career choices they\nmake. This study investigated whether parental influences, specifically reciprocity with the father,\nhave any effect on the advancement within the workforce when the child reaches adulthood. Other\nparental influences on self esteem and levels of hostility have also been shown to carry forward into\nadult life and this study investigated whether there is a relationship between these variables and the\nposition attained within the workforce.\nResults from this study indicate there is no significant difference in levels of reciprocity with\nthe father between the three groups ‘Administration’, ‘Technical’ and ‘Managerial’ (F (2,83)\n= 1.79, p = 0.17), that there was a strong negative significant relationship between Hostility\nand Self Esteem (r (83) = 0.53, p < 0.01), the relationship between Reciprocity and Self\nEsteem was positive; however the result was not statistically significant, and the relationship\nbetween Reciprocity and Hostility was negative and not significant
