Effects of commercial organization personnel's social, demographic, organizational and professional characteristics on their attitudes towards the ways of making money

Abstract

Using the results of empirical research, the author analyzes the attitudes of commercial organization personnel towards different ways of making money, the relationship between the commercial organization personnel's attitudes towards different ways of making money and the personnel's social and demographic characteristics (age, marital status, children, gender) and organizational and professional characteristics (level of education, total work experience, length of work in the company, position in the organization). It has been found that the effects of commercial organization personnel's social and demographic characteristics on their attitudes towards different ways of making money are stronger than the effects of the personnel's organizational and professional characteristics. It has been shown that: the older the commercial organization personnel, the stronger their preferences of non-risky and stable ways of making money; married personnel and those having children attach greater importance to the stable and sure ways of making money. It has been also shown that women and men have different attitudes to the ways of making money: women are more focused on passive ways of earning money, while men prefer more active ways of getting money.
