Cumulative communality cluster analysis of workers' job attitudes

Abstract

On the job what do workers indicate to be most important or to give them the most satisfaction. Using job attitude questionnaires of 100 items each on 2 groups of workers totaling 1000 workers, in 2 plants, items common to the 2 inventories used, totaling 68 questions, were divided into those marked "very unfavorable" and those "very favorable," and studied by factor analysis. "The two sets of clusters were quite similar… . It is concluded that these kinds of variation may be common to a wide variety of industrial jobs and that they do not depend strictly on the questionnaire used or on the method of analysis."
