A Review of the Latent and Manifest Benefits (LAMB) Scale
Muller, Juanita; Waters, Lea
Australian Journal of Career Development, v21 n1 p31-37 Aut 2012
The latent and manifest benefits (LAMB) scale (Muller, Creed, Waters & Machin, 2005) was designed to measure the latent and manifest benefits of employment and provide a single scale to test Jahoda's (1981) and Fryer's (1986) theories of unemployment. Since its publication in 2005 there have been 13 studies that have used the scale with 5692 participants in Australian and German samples. This article reviews the use and findings of the LAMB scale and recommends future directions in LAMB research. (Contains 1 table.)
