“…Using the OWEI, Minton (1997) found a significant difference between employers' expectations of work ethic and the self-perceived work ethic of secondary school students. In terms of the relationships between education and work attitudes, some researchers (Goodale, 1973;Wollack et al, 1971) found positive relationships, while others (Aldag & Brief, 1975;Buchholz, 1978;MacDonald, 1972) found no relationship or negative relationships (Tang & Tzeng, 1992). Petty (1995) found significant positive differences in OWEI measured work ethic for the age group 36-55 over the other four age groups studied.…”

“…In the case of Protestant work ethic endorsement, determinants are felt to be primarily a function of personality and secondarily a reflection of culture. The personality link is based on observations that ethic endorsement covaries with other stable personality traits (e.g., higher order need strength- Wanous, 1974;locus of control-McDonald, 1972;Waters et al, 1975;authoritarianism-Greenberg, 1977;MacDonald, 1972); and demographic traits (e.g., age- race-Bhagat, 1979). Moreover, work ethic measures have been found to be important moderators between such situational factors as job characteristics and work reactions (Greenberg, 1977;Wanous, 1974).…”

A facet design describing the theoretical and empirical interrelationships among five forms of work commitment (Protestant work ethic, career salience, job involvement/work as a central life interest, organizational commitment, and union commitment) is presented. The analysis reveals that these concepts are partially redundant and insufficiently distinct to warrent continued separation. Suggestions for advancing the study of work commitment are rendered. Review, 1983, Vol. 8, No. 3, 486-500. Concept Redundancy in Organizational In order to accomplish these objectives, a research procedure known as facet design (Guttman, 1954;Shapira & Zevulun, 1979) is employed. Facet design is a research methodology that entails, in part, the inductive generation of criteria that reveal similarities and differences among a set of related concepts. The procedure can be used for taxonomy, hypothesis generation, or hypothesis testing purposes and previously has been used to bring order to research areas marked by conceptual chaos-for example,
