Research suggests that higher level jobs are more likely to contain the essential job characteristics needed to cue achievement motives in high achievement workers. A comparison of university administrators and maintenance workers confirmed that the higher the level of the occupation, the higher the morale of the worker. However, no significant…

A study was conducted to examine the ways individuals in organizations interpreted and responded to ambiguous messages. Using Karl Weick's model of organizing, investigators measured the number of rules (criteria for taking action), the number of people, and the frequencies of message categories generated in two simulated organizations comprised…

The average unemployment level on Wisconsin Indian reservations is 39%. Across Wisconsin Indian communities, unemployment ranges from 20% to nearly 70%. A study of Indian unemployment in Wisconsin indicates that the employment level in Indian communities both on and off the reservation is affected by such conditions as the out-migration of Indians…

Job title information from seven television stations is used in this paper to demonstrate that minorities and women continue to be underemployed in broadcasting industry positions that have power or policymaking authority. It is pointed out that although minorities and women constitute 42 percent of all reporters and anchors on the local news…

To determine the relationship between wage structure and employment patterns available evidence on changes in relative earnings and in relative numbers employed were surveyed for periods up to 15 years in 10 countries: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

The relationship between education and job satisfaction has not been sufficiently well documented to qualify as unquestionable. Published research on the subject either fails to adequately assess the influence of education on job satisfaction or is too occupationally and/or geographically limited to form the basis for generalization. To examine on…

Growth or decline in the labor force can be viewed as stemming from changes in population and labor force participation, and from their interaction.

The labor market model which was developed to show this also implies, at least indirectly, that new workers…

To followup an earlier study of the relative importance of age, education, and marital status as variables influencing female participation in the labor force, this research attempts to measure the relative importance of similar factors in determining whether or not a woman works or wishes to work. Particular emphasis was given to such…

Studies have shown that participation in the labor force is related to race. 1960 Census data from 193 poor census tracts in Detroit and Chicago show that educational attainment of the urban poor is even more significant than race in determining (1) the level of participation in the work force, and (2) the sensitivity of this participation to…
