Five Towns: A Comparative Community Study
Minersville: A Study in Socioeconomic Stagnation
Cheevy, born too late, Scratched his head and kept on thinking. Miniver coughed, and called it fate, And kept on drinking
The Pattern Variables: Some Empirical Operations
Given this central need for theoretical development (not to mention the need for replication or the need for a more systematic identification of performance dimensions), perhaps the best way to close this paper is to acknowledge that it is a beginning. Nevertheless, we can claim significant progress: the pervasive interest of the sociologist in the social order of the hospital is neither a will-of-the-wisp nor a professional ritual; for it is her…
Blue Collar Man: Patterns of Dual Allegiance in Industry
Disengagement-A Tentative Theory of Aging
Interaction, Reported and Observed: The Case of One Local Union
The observation is neither profound nor original that, over the past two to three decades, behavioral scientists have placed increasingly heavy reliance on the questionnaire survey as a principal means of data collection. The reasons for this are obvious and compelling. The method is relatively inexpensive; once the questionnaire is constructed, no great skills are involved in its administration; by means of questionnaires, data may be rapidly, e…
What is 'Morale'? A Case History of a Validity Problem
Our purpose in this paper is to describe how a single community study,1 the Kansas City Study of Adult Life, has gone about trying to fathom the essential meaning of its own dependent variable, namely
Social Integration, Attitudes, and Union Activity
Inducing members to participate in union activities is one of the most difficult tasks confronting local union officers (and, it might be added, leaders of most other membership organizations). Especially is this the case where the impetus of overt union-management conflict is not present. What are the factors that motivate those members who do participate? What differentiates them from less active individuals? This article bases its answer to th…
Union Activity and Dual Loyalty
Can a worker be loyal both to a union and to the employer for whom he works? Recent studies have indicated, contrary to a perhaps widely held negative point of view, that he can successfully serve two masters. In this article, findings are reported on worker allegiance to union and management in three firms where labor relations ranged from cooperative to strongly antagonistic. The research suggests that workers may have positive attitudes toward…
