Q:
В чем разница между he has high expectations for salary, responsibility and job flexibility. и he has high expectations of salary, responsibility and job flexibility. ?
A:
In that sentence expectations would be plural because it is talking about women (being multiple.) not a woman (which is singular.) If the sentence said "A woman who has a high expectation of marriage is often disappointed." the noun (woman) isn't plural so the word expectation isn't either (in most cases.) But the sentence "A woman that has high expectations of marriage is often disappointed." It is only talking about one person yet expectations is plural. (I'm sorry if i've confused you.) The word expectation(s) is word that isn't always plural and also isn't a word that can never be plural. Weather it is plural or not depends on the situation and sentence you are using it in. (Again, i'm really sorry if i didn't help and just confused you!) If you are talking in a formal context (at a job, or writing a paper.) the first sentence would be better to use. But if you are talking to friends you could use the second sentence that you wrote. (I only corrected you because I've had teachers that would've corrected me for using the second sentence. That being said, some people may look at the second sentence and think that's it's wrong, and some may look at it and think that it is correct. It all depends on how you were taught.)

Q:
We examined the expectation of customers randomly regarding the price. 85% of survey respondents evaluated the product highly. While we have to raise the cost because persistent extremely high material prices. это звучит нормально?
A:
In the first sentence, I would change "examined" to "surveyed" because examined sounds like you're testing them rather than asking for their opinion. I would also change the position of "random" in the first sentence to:
We randomly surveyed the expectation of customers regarding the price (of the product).
Or
We surveyed the expectations of random customers regarding the price (of the product).
I think the second sentence is a little weird because of the context.
If you mean the customers though the price was high/expensive, I would change the second sentence to:
85% of the (survey) respondents thought the product was (too) expensive.
or
85% of the (survey) respondents thought the price was too high.
For the third sentence, I would change "while (~하는 동안)" to "but (~하지만)." I also think you need to take out either "persistent" or "extremely" they don't work well together in this case:
But we have to raise the cost because of persistently high material prices. (값이 계속 올리다라는 뜻)
or
But we have to raise the cost because of extremely high material prices. (값이 너무 비싸다라는 뜻)
We randomly surveyed the expectation of customers regarding the price (of the product).
Or
