Zusammenfassung: | Explored the effects of ethnolinguistic group membership, sex, and position level on the perceived importance of 15 intrinsic and extrinsic job factors. Questionnaire data were obtained from 774 anglophones and 279 francophones working for a coast-to-coast service organization. Both groups were 75% male and 65% recruit-level summer student employees, but the anglophone group was significantly older. Results show no differences on the importance of factors intrinsic to job content. On the other hand, francophones attached greater importance to extrinsic interpersonal and organizational factors such as associates, altruism, prestige, and security. Males more greatly valued salaries and security, while females stressed variety and accomplishment. Supervisors emphasized planning and directing others, while recruits stressed work which allowed them to be the kind of person they chose to be. Results are discussed in terms of multiple past and present primary and secondary socialization experiences. (French summary) (18 ref) |
