Role Stress, Job Anxiety, Job Involvement, and Job Satisfaction Among Three Groups of Organizational Employees: A Factor Analytic Study.

This study is an attempt to compare organizational role stress, job involvement, job anxiety, and job satisfaction among three groups of employees in a private sector organization. The sample consisted of 50 top managers, 50 middle managers, and 50 workers. The Organizational Role Stress developed by Pareek (1983), the Job Involvement scale by Lodhal and Kejner (1965), the Job Anxiety scale by Srivastava and Sinha (1977), and the Job Descriptive Index developed by Smith, Yulin, and Kendall (1969) were administered to all three groups of employees. The results were analyzed both by the factor analytic technique and by discriminant function analysis. The factor analysis yielded three important factors that are discussed. The discriminant function analysis separated the three groups on 10 out of the 23 variables considered in the study. The findings are discussed in the light of other relevant studies.

Personality correlates and perceptual detectability of locomotive drivers

In this study an attempt was made to determine the relationship of personality correlates with the vigilance performance of locomotive drivers in a continuous white noise background. Eighty locomotive drivers of Varanasi were selected, with a mean age of 35 yr. Each subject was instructed to detect critical signals which had slightly more height than the signals immediately after the presentation. The correct detection of tachistoscopic critical signals were recorded as the index of vigilance performance. Three personality scales viz. the occupational stress index (OSI), the job anxiety scale (JAS) and the 16 PF scale were administered after the completion of data regarding detection performance. Results were interpreted in terms of means, standard deviations and coefficients of correlation. A step wise multiple regression analysis was also done. The findings indicated that the personality correlates were significantly associated with sustained attention performances in different ways.
