Relationships between feelings of powerlessness and three types of job complexity are found to be statistically significant but weak in a representative sample of American men. Meaningfully strong relationships in a proportional reduction in error (PRE) sense are shown to exist only for a minority of men, which is specified by occupation, intergenerational mobility experience, and income. Tests for spuriousness indicate that, within this minority, powerlessness is associated with job complexity independent of education and income
