摘要:

The attitudes of work alienation and work satisfaction have had separate, although parallel, study in the behavioural science literature. Operational measures of the attitudes are examined to determine if in fact they are separate attitudes, or merely different terms for the same construct. The results reveal that when studying specifically job‐related variables, the measures of the two attitudes are extremely similar. In fact, they appear to be differentially related only to level of formal education and this is true only for certain occupational levels. The results suggest that the considerable overlap found between the measures of the two variables argues for a re‐operationalization of work alienation as a structural or objective state of being, not an evaluative, subjective react

摘要:

Persistent job changers amongst early school leavers in the National Survey have been followed up in three studies. In the first, young people particularly at risk of not settling at work are identified from information available to school teachers and careers officers. In the second, the effects of job changing on job satisfaction, use of abilities, pay and unemployment are assessed, and persistent job changers found to be at no real disadvantage. Finally, the relationships between job changing and social and psychiatric problems are explored, with frequent job changing in the early years being shown to be an indicator of later personal problems. These findings, and their implications, are discussed in the context of alternative hypotheses for the relationship between job changing and later problems. It is concluded that although persistent job changing in the early years at work may indicate problems of personal adjustment, there is no evidence that it leads, by the mid‐twenties, to occupational problems or 10 a secondary, low paid, labour marke

摘要:

Interviewers engaged in graduate recruitment were asked to rate the importance of 12 characteristics which applicants might possess. Factor analysis of the responses produced four main factors. These were labelled ‘achievement motivation’, ‘well informed about the job and company’, ‘quality of references’, and ‘academic performance’. When personnel managers were compared with non‐personnel managers, the former placed greater emphasis on both achievement motivation and being informed about the job applied for, but attached less importance to academic performance. The results are discussed in terms of possible differences in the work‐related values of these two

摘要:

Expectancy theory and decision theory are described as models that can be used to predict occupational preference and choice. The empirical research using these models is reviewed and found to be highly supportive. Every investigation showed considerable support for the model being tested. The implications for practice and further research are discussed.

摘要:

To explore the effect of faked responses on assessors' judgements 12 experienced subjects (psychologists and personnel officers) were asked to rate six 16 PF profiles. These comprised three pairs, in each of which one profile was distorted to the extent of a selection set found in earlier research. The ratings for the three distorted profiles were significantly better than those for the undistorted. It is concluded that faking on 16 PF may affect judgements based on the test.
