Abstract: | It is important to address some of the concerns that Americans who wear religious attire may have as laws are being passed or considered to ban certain forms or religious attire in the current international arena. Data from 219 American Muslim females were examined regarding their expectations of receiving job offers for a variety of occupations. The findings revealed that Muslim women who wear the headscarf (Hijabis) had lower expectations of receiving a job offer than Muslim women who do not wear the hijab. It was indicated that this difference increased as the amount of public contact associated with the occupation decreased and job status of the occupation increased. In addition, work centrality moderated the relationship, but only for Muslim women who did not wear the headscarf. |
