Abstract

A cross-cultural study analyzes the effects of occupational membership on the task related, contextual, and job involvement orientation of 5,550 employees, selected from 20 countries. The empirical relationships among these variables are calculated via regression and discriminant analysis. Results indicate a strong effect of occupation on work orientation, even after controlling for cultural attributes such as language and ethnicity.
