几位作者成功地使用了《职业头衔词典》来构建衡量职业工作环境的尺度。然而,该词典已被职业信息网或O*NET所取代,后者提供了更广泛的内容和更高质量的数据。本文报告了O*NET(4.0版)的探索性因素分析。确定了四个因素。有三个因素可以与早期的分析结果相比较:物质复杂性、人与物的关系和物质需求。第四个因素,官僚主义,被发现描述了在等级组织中的工作,并以组织的政策和实践为导向。O*NET变量和这些因素可以通过职业代码与社会研究联系起来,并用作对工作环境的相对客观和最新的评估。出版社:Elsevier Science(USA)
Several authors have successfully used the Dictionary of Occupational Titles to construct scales measuring occupational work environments. The Dictionary, however, has been replaced by the Occupation Information Network or O*NET, which offers expanded content and higher quality data. This paper reports an exploratory factor analysis of the O*NET (version 4.0). Four factors are identified. Three factors are comparable to the results of earlier analyses: SUBSTANTIVE COMPLEXITY, PEOPLE VERSUS THINGS, and PHYSICAL DEMANDS. A fourth factor, BUREAUCRACY, is discovered that describes work in hierarchical organizations and oriented toward organizational policies and practices. O*NET variables and these factors can be linked to social studies via occupation codes and used as relatively objective and up to date assessments of work environments.
