Hancock, John E.

Journal of College Student Development, v29 n1 p25-30 Jan 1988

Investigated potential mismatches between the rewards afforded by entry level, residence life positions and the vocational needs of individuals in student affairs trained to fill these positions. Participants included graduate students in student affairs (N=31) and student affairs supervisors (N=42). Results showed vocational needs differed from occupational reinforcers available.
