Abstract
This study outlines the development of the Work Opinion Questionnaire (WOQ), a measure of job‐related attitudes. The 35‐item attitude measure was validated on 670 C.E.T.A. workers in a large midwestem city. The WOQ was effective in predicting job performance in entry level positions. Potential applications and limitations of the WOQ are discussed.Keywords
