    On the State of the Communication Profession in Europe
    (2009-05-25) ;
    Beurer-Züllig, Bettina
    ;
    This paper presents an investigation into the educational backgrounds, working activities, remunerations and job satisfaction of European communication professionals. Based on factor analysis on a sample of 1410 European communicators, five major working functions are identified: lobbying with external constituencies, advising and reviewing policies, positioning the firm in the marketplace as well as external and internal facilitation. Conducting ANOVA we hold that some of the more technician-related working activities are predominantly exercised by female communication professionals whereas managerial activities are prevalently performed by their male counterparts. As will be shown, while the educational background does not diverge between genders, salaries as well as job satisfaction does, likewise, there are differences regarding educational background, salaries as well as job satisfaction on a European level.
