Abstract	A study investigated the communication style of professional women in the work force. Subjects, 122 female professionals who had previously participated in a university sponsored management development workshop, completed a demographic profile sheet, the 51-question Norton Communicator Style Measure (CSM), and a communication proficiency assessment instrument measuring critical organizational communication skills that had been identified through a review of the literature. Results were then analyzed to determine whether unique combinations of style variables could predict professional females' achievement levels or supervisor and self-evaluations of communications proficiency, and whether there are unique combinations or communication styles that predict the communicator image of female professionals. The results showed that unique combinations of communicator style variables could not be used to predict female achievement levels or supervisory proficiency ratings. However, some unique combinations of communicator style variables did appear to predict female self-proficiency ratings and overall communicator image. (DF)
