摘要:

Existing job attitude measures are least appropriate in research concerning employed mothers with dependent children. Three scales are introduced which cover the mother's attitude to both her employment and domestic work roles, and the strain which may be generated by their interaction. Data from 185 working‐class mothers are reported and associations with employment status, positive and negative affect, life satisfaction and social supports are described. Evidence is presented about the scales' internal consistency and validity, and it is concluded that they are suitable for use with this important and sizeable group of workers. The items are published in ful

摘要:

A problem which commonly faces psychologists who are concerned with selection is that of increasing the predictive validity of an existing battery of psychometric tests. The problem arises because, typically, the construct validity of tests is establishedpost hoc. This paper describes a way in which the construct validity of test can be established operationally, via facet analysis. The search for novel predictive validity can then proceed in a systematic way, rather than by the conventional ‘shotgun’ approach. As an example, it describes the construct validation of a test which has been used in the selection of the pilot and navigating officers of aircr

摘要:

The Job Disposition Questionnaire (JDQ) is being developed as an aid to the occupational guidance, selection and placement of young people. The first phase of a long‐term study in the Electricity Supply Industry suggests that the JDQ can be used to identify those applicants who have the same attitude to the conditions and content of a job as apprentices with 2 or 3 years' experience; and further, that it can be used to distinguish between the ‘job disposition’ of apprentices in different trades within the apprenticeship scheme. The implication of these results for the usefulness of the JDQ in selecting and placing apprentices in the industry is disc

摘要:

Seven months after school‐leaving 647 young people were interviewed. Path analysis was used to examine the predictors of unemployment and psychological well‐being. It was found that young people were at risk of being unemployed if they had an unemployed father, few or no qualifications, low work motivation, and if they were West Indian. Young people who were unemployed, from social class 4 and 5, or female, had poor mental health as measured by the General Health Questionnaire. Work involvement moderated the relationship between employment status and mental hea

摘要:

Data collected from 826 people in eight American organizations concerning mass reports of symptoms and various possible indicants of stress were subjected to correlational and regression analyses. In addition, using the argument that illness was actually an organizational phenomenon, company means of 41 predictor variables were correlated with company means on the symptoms variable. The three sets of analyses indicate that reported symptoms are related to work pressure, employee income, family disharmony and dissatisfaction with company personnel practices. Limitations of the data collection effort are noted and recommendations for future investigations are made.
