Abstract
This paper explores the occupational sources of social marginality in merchant seamen. The total institutional characteristics of the work setting of this group are influential in producing this effect, and a number of organizational and extra-organizational variables are examined as determinants. Several were found to have significant impact on the degree of social marginality experienced by seamen and collectively the independent variables predicted 43 percent of the variance. Theoretical implications of applying the model to other occupational forms are discussed.
