Abstract: This study investigated factors which contribute to the global self-esteem of professional women assumed to be competent. Special interest was directed toward exploration of the extent to which these successful women had high self-efficacy yet low self-worth. Participants were mainly white middle class college-educated professional women between the ages of 32-46. Each of the 184 participants completed a questionnaire regarding dimensions of self-esteem and gender identity. The questionnaire on self-esteem included measures of global self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-worth. Independent variables included gender identity status, traditional versus non-traditional fields of work, mother's encouragement of independence, and mother's employment. The effect of these factors was examined through a MANOVA, a series of ANOVAs, t-tests, and a regression analysis.
