Male Workers' Attitudinal Perceptions of Their Jobs and Their Characteristics: A Two-Cohort Analysis Ph.D. Dissertation, Pennsylvania State University, 1980 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Health Factors; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Job Analysis; Job Satisfaction; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Self-Employed Workers The purpose of this study was to determine if there were job-related attitudinal changes between younger and older male workers and to explore the relationships associated with their job attitude and the differences between the cohorts. The data on the cohorts were part of a data base collected by the NLS. The cohorts used in this study were males between the ages of 20 to 30 and 50 to 64, in the year surveyed. Statistical treatments used were frequency analysis, chi-square analysis, multiple regression analysis and a comparison of means analysis (using program t-test). Significant relationships were found between the cohorts' job attitude and age, class of worker (wage, salary, self-employed and other), income, race and self-esteem measurements (Rotter Scales). Nonsignificant relationships were found between job attitude and the number of dependents (excluding wife), industry (worker was associated with), health and physical limitations, education, marital status and self-esteem measurements (Rotter Scales). It was concluded that: (1) cohort differences related to job attitude were more significant for older workers than for the younger workers; (2) racial differences were diverse between the cohorts; (3) cohort differences measuring self-esteem of the workers were more intrinsic and extrinsic for the older workers than for the younger workers; (4) health-related man hours loss from job was significantly higher for older workers although minority workers of both cohorts had less health-related time loss from employment than their white counterparts; (5) job attitudes and marital status were associated with one another and provided information that was interpreted. |
