Abstract
A short form of Rokeach's Dogmatism Scale was administered to 445 managers in an agri-product industry. The managers represented four levels of education. Controlling for the possible effects of age, organizational level, function, years in present position, years with present company, years as a manager, years of full-time work experience, staff-line role, span of control, order of birth, and family size, a significant inverse relationship was found between educational attainment and dogmatism. The results point to the desirability of considering the relationship between education and personality structure (dogmatism) in future research.
