“…We believed group importance to be a crucial dependent variable because group importance is a direct predictor of satisfaction with a group (e.g. Meir & Segal-Halevi, 2001). It also provided a measure of the group's value, without directly assessing either bond or identity attachments.…”

In the current investigation, we studied sex differences in belonging needs by exploring men's and women's attachment to groups. Previous work has shown that women's social needs tend to be expressed in terms of relational bonds, whereas men's also have a strong collective component (e.g. Gabriel & Gardner, 1999). In this research, we asked men and women to consider one of their important group memberships and to complete Prentice, Miller, and Lightdale's (1994) group attachment scales. In two studies, findings showed that the extent to which a woman was relationally attached (i.e. felt close to the other members of her group) was sufficient to explain the group's importance to her. In contrast, men's ratings of group importance depended upon the extent of both relational and collective attachment (i.e. attached to the group identity). Implications for real-world groups are discussed. DIFFERENCES in the way that men and women approach the social world tend to captivate and amuse us. A favorite topic of sit-coms and standup comics, a standard scenario might involve a skirmish between a wife who is completely fixated on the minutia of her social relationships and a husband who is oblivious and G P I R

“…The SDS was translated into Hebrew and adapted for use in the Israeli culture. Numerous studies have provided findings that support the reliability and validity of the Hebrew version, with measurements similar to the original ones (Meir, Hadas, & Noyfeld, 1997;Meir & Hasson, 1982;Meir, Keinan, & Segal, 1986;Meir & Segal-Halevi, 2001;Meir & Tzadok, 2000).…”

The study examined the quality and utility of online administration of the Self-Directed Search (SDS) to high school students in a career exploration workshop. An Internet-based SDS version was designed; it included automatic scoring and immediate feedback to test takers, providing a three-letter occupational code along with verbal explanation of the results. SDS was taken by participants in their homes or in school ( n = 77), and compared to traditional administration of the SDS ( n = 73), either self-scored or counselor scored. The mean internal consistency coefficient for the SDS was .90, and mean test-retest reliability (over a 6- week period) was .94. Mean correlation between the same SDS scales of participants who took both versions was .77. For this latter group, the Realistic, Social, and Enterprising scales were found to be higher in the online administration than in the paper-and-pencil administration, whereas the three other scales were not statistically different. Similar to the traditional version and consistent with previous research, the online version produced the configuration of a RIASEC-order hexagon. Participants who took the online version were more satisfied with it than those who took the paper-and-pencil version. These results highly support the further use of the online version of the SDS.

“…A elevada importância do grupo foi suficiente para altos níveis de satisfação, independentemente da congruência, ao passo que uma baixa importância do grupo esteve relacionada a baixos níveis de satisfação, exceto quando havia uma elevada congruência. Nos casos em que a importância do grupo esteve em um nível médio, quanto maior congruência, maior satisfação (Meir & Segal-Halevi, 2001). Logo, a importância do grupo de trabalho foi um moderador importante da relação entre congruência e satisfação.…”

Resumo A congruência pessoa-ambiente refere-se ao grau de similaridade entre características pessoais e ambientais. Este trabalho investigou moderadores da relação entre congruência pessoa-ambiente e satisfação intrínseca com o trabalho. Os moderadores investigados foram saliência de carreira, diferenciação entre interesses ocupacionais e tipos de interesse. Escalas de interesses e ambientes ocupacionais, satisfação intrínseca no trabalho e saliência de carreira foram respondidas por 842 trabalhadores brasileiros. A relação congruência-satisfação foram significativas somente em trabalhadores com baixa saliência de carreira, com elevada diferenciação de interesses e/ou que possuem interesse predominantemente investigativo. Conclui-se que, quanto menor a saliência de carreira do trabalhador e/ou mais diferenciado seu perfil de interesses, mais relevante é a congruência para a satisfação, especialmente em trabalhadores com interesse investigativo. Sugere-se que pessoas com elevada saliência de carreira são capazes de encontrar alternativas de realização profissional mesmo em ambientes de trabalho incongruentes com seus interesses.
