摘要:

SummaryThisis the sixth in a series of validation studies designed to provide some information concerning the variables related to organizational effectiveness (1, 2, 3, 5, 6).2Questionnaires composed of groups of relatively homogeneous objective items were given to 213 workers, 244 supervisors, and 29 foremen at the California Division of the Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, Burbank, California. The homogeneous item groups, or dimensions, were designed to measure different characteristics of the organization and its personnel, e.g., supervisory practices, and attitudes toward each other, the work, and the company. The personnel surveyed were located in 29 distinct departments, each headed by a foreman. Criterion data relating to organizational effectiveness were obtained for each of the 29 departments. These data consisted of two quality control measures, production measures based on standard hours, and ratings by one of the company's staff executives. Responses to the questionnaires in the form of dimension scores were correlated with these four criteria. The present report is concerned with the analysis of questionnaires at the worker level. The other phases of this research will be reported at a later date.The results from the worker questionnaire may be summarized as follows:1. Ail correlations between questionnaire dimensions and the rating criterion were zero.2. Many substantial correlations were obtained between questionnaire dimensions and quality control measures, but the relationships were usually curvilinear or negative and hence difficult to interpret.3. The production criterion correlated in the expected manner with dimensions Communication Downward, Good Judgment, Lack of Arbitrariness and Safety Enforcement. Several other dimensions gave correlations of interest, though short of significance.
