Person-Environment Mismatch
In this paper a look is taken at organizational effectiveness in terms of a Person-Environment (P-E) match and it is argued that the various approaches to the improvement of on-the-job performance focus either on changes at the individual level (‘fitting the man to the job’) or at the organizational level (‘fitting the job to the man’). Furthermore it is also argued that these interventions occur at either a global preventative level or at a loca…
Situational and response anxiety in a sample of South African Indians
In assuming the universality of anxiety experience, most anxiety scales have used the same set of situations or responses (translated where necessary into the vernacular) for widely differing cultural groups. The present study investigates how a group of South African Indians self-report such situational and response aspects of anxiety, and compares this with items in instruments developed for the West. Subjects were required to indicate the kind…

Research on anxiety in non-Western societies has generally assumed an item or response equivalence across cultures. Hence, research has generally used translated forms of inventories such as Taylor's Manifest Anxiety Scale and Spiel berger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, checking only for semantic equivalence and ignoring the problems of item content and typical response modes. To clarify the viability of these assumptions, the 50-item Manifest …
