Students, who completed the survey as freshmen and then three years later as seniors, provided their level of agreement with four different statements using a Likert scale and then indicated with which of the four statements they most agreed and most disagreed. The four statements were: Christians should try to avoid working in a non-Christian business (Christian values are not explicitly incorporated into company decisions). Christians who work in a non-Christian business should view the organization as a place to succeed and grow professionally, as long as their faith is not compromised or weakened. Christians who work in a non-Christian business should view the organization as a “mission field ” in which they can share their faith with co-workers, etc., when opportunities arise. Christians who ...

The Christian schools are part of the CCCU (Council for Christian Colleges and Universities); CCCU responses were 78.5 percent of the total. Chi-Square and Mann-Whitney tests were used to determine if gender and type of college affected students ’ responses. Two conclusions can be made about student competence and value: (1) male CCCU students are most likely to believe that male students are viewed as more competent than female students and (2) non-CCCU students are more likely to believe that male and female student opinions and questions are valued equally. Regarding faculty gender differences, two conclusions can be made: (1) non-CCCU males are most likely to believe that female and male professors are treated with equal respect, and (2) CCCU female students are least likely to believe that female and mal...

The sample size was all 781 counties in the 12 states that provide abortion data for five age groups from 15-34. Parental involvement laws were significantly related to lower abortion rates for all age groups. Religious membership levels were used for the three major categories of religious adherence in the U.S. – Catholic/Orthodox, Mainline Protestant, and Non-Mainline Protestant. Religious affiliation with Catholic/Orthodox was positively related to abortion rates for all age groups, as was Non-Mainline Protestant affiliation for ages 25-34. Mainline Protestant was minimally related to higher abortion rates for two of five age groups. Lower abortion rates were related to married-couple families (for all but minor teens), increased White population, and prevalence of families in poverty for ages 15-24. Higher abortion rates ...

Using data from the 1,024 counties in the 18 states that report teen abortion numbers, counties with high levels of religious membership were more likely to be in a state with a parental involvement law. In weighted regressions with several control variables-restrictive public funding, unemployment rate, per capita income, population density, percent white population, percent of families headed by a married couple, and regional indicators-both the religious membership level and a parental involvement law were negatively related to teen abortion rates. The coefficients for both variables were smaller when both variables were included in the model, indicating an interaction effect between religious membership and parental involvement laws on teen abortion rates.

Using the Barro-Lee data set for 97 countries and including religion and control variables, we find few effects for hierarchical religions on female education but negative effects on female education and the gender gap for the proportions of ethnoreligious, Hindu, and Muslim adherents in the sample countries. Similar results hold for panel data for 1970–99. The paper offers some interpretative thoughts and research agendas.

Twelve states report abortion and birth statistics at the county level for these two age groups. The sample consists of 597

With fierce competition existing today, the challenge to meet high standards of quality becomes paramount. Human resource (HR) managers have played a part in improving overall product quality through the use of a variety of economic incentive systems. However, people are begnning to view many of these systems with skepticism .

The link between major religions and female educational attainment is examined using the Barro-Lee data set for a sample of 97 countries. The estimates include control variables for colonial heritage, urbanization, labor force participation, and young adult mortality. The estimates show powerful negative links between female educational attainment and the proportion of ethnoreligions, Hindu, and Muslim adherents in a country, with similar results for the gender gap. The paper offers some interpretative thoughts and research agendas.
