Black-white differences in attitudes toward job characteristics

Abstract

Used data from 2 recent national opinion surveys to compare the job preferences of a total of 89 Black and 756 White workers. It was found, largely in contrast to previous findings, that Blacks were more likely to prefer high income and less likely to prefer work which is important and gives a feeling of accomplishment. These differences were consistent within a number of subgroups. (22 ref) (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
