Work Ethic Characteristics: Perceived Work Ethics of Supervisors and Workers
Petty, Gregory C.; Hill, Roger B.
Journal of Industrial Teacher Education, v42 n2 p5-20 2005
The purpose of this study was to compare the work ethics of supervisors with that of the employees they manage. The study investigated the occupational work ethics of both workers and their supervisors in a variety of businesses and industries to determine if there was a significant difference in the work ethics of these two groups as measured by the Occupational Work Ethic Inventory. Insights from this analysis can provide career and technical educators and human resource specialists with information to assist in group and team efforts, morale building, acceptance of change, and a better understanding of attitudes in the work environment. (Contains 6 tables.)
