Managers' coping resources, perceived organizational patterns, and responses during organizational recovery from decline
This study proposes that individual coping resources and organizational patterns explain the responses of mid-level managers to organizational recovery after decline. The study sample consisted of 252 managers in Israeli enterprises recovering from organizational decline. The responses studied were—citizenship responses, negative responses, the wish to exit and acts to exit the organization. Hypotheses were developed relating these responses to i…
Alternative Models for Antecedents and Outcomes of Work Centrality and Job Satisfaction of High-Tech Personnel
Alternative causal models were developed, relating Work Centrality and Job Satisfaction to antecedents and outcomes. The antecedents examined were demographics and need for achievement, and the outcomes included performance, wages, organizational commitment, and career planning. The models were tested using data of Israeli high-tech personnel. Results indicated that organizational commitment, career planning, and wages were significantly affected…
Gender and the Effects of Demographics, Status, and Work Values on Work Centrality
The author compares the work role centrality of married working women and men and the factors related to it. The factors of socialization, status, status inconsistency, and work values as well as job satisfaction are examined. Although in the aggregate women are found to be less work-centered than men, further specification indicates that this is true mainly in the intermediate socioeconomic status (SES) categories, but not in others. The author …

Work role centrality of industrial workers as related to organizational conditions, task autonomy, managerial orientations and personal characteristics
The study shows that, for a sample of 818 industrial workers, work role centrality (WRC) is positively related to task autonomy and to organizational conditions of sector of ownership, unit‐type of production system, and production stability; it is also weakly related to the orientations of production managers concerning the sharing of information, general supervision and granting autonomy. The task autonomy ‐ work role centrality relationship is…
Family structure, job characteristics, rewards and strains as related to work‐role centrality of employed and self‐employed professional women with children
This study of the work‐role centrality (WRC) of 419 professional women with children in Israel was carried out by means of a mailed questionnaire. WRC measures cognitive investments in the work role, relative to the person's other roles. The results show that these women generally are highly work‐centred, autonomous and rewarded, and experience little work overload, but some person‐role conflict on the job. Employment status, job scope, job auton…
Male and Female Industrial Workers: Job Satisfaction, Work Role Centrality, and Work Place Preference
Ninety-one male and seventy-nine female Israeli industrial workers in similar technological settings were compared in terms of their job satisfaction and work role centrality. Female workers did not differ from men in their job satisfaction, when personal and technological factors were controlled. They had lower work role centrality, and this difference occurred predominantly for younger, unmarried, and Middle Eastern women. Both men and women te…
Housing Policy as a Tool of Social Policy
Multivariate Analyses of Factors Affecting Work Role Centrality of Occupational Categories
This paper presents a theory concerning work-role centrality and its relationship with a number of variables related to the individual's background, orientation, role strains, job rewards, and career characteristics. It is examined empiricallyfor seven occupational categories in Israel. Occupations are found to vary in their work-role centrality and in the variables hypothesized to relate to it, and the general validity of our model is supported …
A Comparative Study of Work Centrality, Job Rewards and Satisfaction: Occupational Groups in Israel
This study develops and measures a concept of Work-Role Centrality, mainly from a cognitive perspective, and examines by means of questionnaire data its distribution in a representative sample of 778 males participating in the labor force in Israel. It also investigates the relationship between specific job rewards and work-role centrality for the five major occupational categories in this sample. Its results show that work-role centrality is a f…
Instrumental Status of Supervisors as Related to Workers' Perceptions and Expectations
Reference Groups, Membership Groups and the Self Image
On the basis of interactionist and reference group theories, we examined the agreement between, and changes in, aspects of the self image. Subjects' Real, Ideal and Looking Glass Self were described on adjective scales. As hypothesized, when the Looking Glass Self is reflected from a reference group, its agreement with the Real Self is not a function of the individual's actual membership in the group; conversely, the two self aspects are more con…
