Attitudes and Work Performance Among Young Men During the Transition from School to Work American Economist 26,1 (Spring 1982): 43-50. Also: http://www.jstor.org/pss/25603359 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Omicron Delta Phi Keyword(s): Educational Aspirations/Expectations; Health, Mental/Psychological; Internal-External Attitude; Mobility; Racial Differences; Simultaneity; Transition, School to Work; Work Attitudes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study attempts to build on earlier ones utilizing longitudinal survey data by assuming that labor market performance and attitude changes during work are simultaneously determined. That is, attitudes which affect work performance are simultaneously affected by them, as well as by non-work experience. A model is designed to estimate these relationships for young men who are experiencing their initial full-time contract with the labor market, which investigates how attitudes affect labor market performance during the transition from school to the world of work. Taken together the results indicate that internal-external attitudes have substantial effects on subsequent labor market performance and that they are responsive to work. Furthermore the data supports the hypothesis that economic progress among blacks can be enhanced through the development of internal attitudes among blacks. This development, in turn, is seen as dependent upon increasing the mobility of blacks which would assure them of greater wage gains with the aging process. Finally the "phase transition" seen occurring between the ages of 21 and 24 would seem to show that $1 spent on "mental health" at age 21 may be as productive as many more dollars spent at age 25. |

Beyond Allocative Efficiency: The Role of Psychological Factors in Worker Motivation, Career Choice, and Industrial Mobility Ph.D. Dissertation, Washington State University, 1978. DAI-A 39/08, p. 5074, Feb 1979 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Internal-External Attitude; Mobility; Transition, School to Work; Work Attitudes This study focuses on some substantial and pervasive direct and indirect effects which an individual's attitudes are likely to produce on his labor market experiences. The Young Men's sample of the NLS is used to examine two issues: (1) how a belief in internal external control affects labor market experiences; and (2) how a belief in internal-external control is affected by the transition from school to work. In developing a conceptual framework for testing these issues, the author considers that labor market experiences (wages, occupational status, turnover) are affected by three major classes of variables: (1) psychological orientation, or attitudes in general; (2) human capital; and (3) market structure. In addition, one's labor market success or failure, his attempts at beginning his own family, world events, and his new status as one gaining financial and emotional independence are crucial in determining how his transition period affects his attitudes towards himself. The model is designed to deal with interactions between attitudes and human capital variables. This dissertation concludes that attitudes affect the economic benefits of human capital and earnings, and that attitudes are affected by the work and personal experiences during the transition period between school and work. |

Internal-External Locus of Control and Labor Market Performance: Empirical Evidence Using Longitudinal Survey Data Psychology: A Journal of Human Behavior 17,3 (Fall 1980): 23-29. Also: http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1981-29144-001 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: unknown Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Internal-External Attitude; Labor Force Participation; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article examined the effects of several personal and labor market characteristics of the individual on hourly wages and feelings of locus of control, as measured by an abbreviated version of Rotter's internal-external locus of control scale. Responses from 976 young men, taken from the Young Men's cohort of the NLS, were studied. Internal-external control was found to affect hourly wages independent of other factors such as educational attainment, labor market experience, race, and collective bargaining affiliation. Internal-external locus of control is affected by labor market success, race, and city size. [(c)APA] |

The Effect of Early Labor Market Experience upon Internal-External Locus of Control Among Young Male Workers Journal of Youth and Adolescence 9,3 (June 1980): 203-210. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/p1k6504j481760q4/ Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Employment; Internal-External Attitude; Locus of Control (see Rotter Scale); Rotter Scale (see Locus of Control); Transition, School to Work; Wages; Work Attitudes This study examined the influence of some personal and labor market factors on changes in internal-external control among young male workers. Utilizing 960 male respondents in a multiple regression analysis and an abbreviated version of the Rotter Internal-External Control Scale, this study found that labor market success, race, and employment in the private sector enhance feelings of internal control during the transition between school and work. |
