Abstract
The Professional Utilization of one engineering organization was assessed, using the Work Adjustment Theory. The Minnesota Importance Questionnaire (MIQ) and a Job Requirements Questionnaire were completed by 197 engineers. The Minnesota Job Description Questionnaire (MJDQ) and the Minnesota Satisfactoriness Scale (MSS) were completed by the 31 engineers' supervisors. MJDQ patterns for the six suborganizations were compared to individual MIQ patterns to assess satisfaction. Supervisors' ratings on the General Satisfactoriness Scale of the MSS determined competence (satisfactoriness). Utilization was the degree of satisfaction and competence. The resulting data can be used to: (1) identify mismatches between individuals and jobs; (2) identify undesirable jobs in terms of requirements and rewards; and (3) evaluate the effectiveness of organizational and personnel changes.
