- Abstract
This paper examines the impact of Turkish social and economic change upon behavior of administrative elites across two decades. Data for two age cohorts and for 1956, 1965, and 1974 were obtained. The findings emphasize the effects of the creation of new organizations upon both career mobility and job satisfaction. The interactions of the opportunity structure generated by the formation of new organizations and individual marketability explained mobility and job satisfaction for the 20 years studied. Cross-sectional relationships differed markedly at the three times; therefore, generalizations based upon one set of time-bound circumstances do not hold at another time. This lack of generalizability is emerging as a major problem in behavioral science research, so these Turkish data have relevance to this broader problem.
