The measurement of personal factors related to success of office workers

Abstract

The development of an instrument for use in evaluating the personal traits of office workers—the Office Workers Opinion Survey—is described. Successive item analyses yielded a questionnaire that gave a multiple correlation of .513 against 3 ratings (fellow workers, on-the-job supervisors, and office managers) for a group of 73 fulltime office workers, and one of .572 for a group of 54 co-op business administration students.
