- Title
Work Attitudes of American Indians.
- Authors
Weaver, Charles N.
- Abstract
Analysis of 22 samples representative of the labor force of the continental United States shows few differences in 13 work attitudes between American Indians (n = 732) and European Americans (n = 12,810). American Indians were more insecure in their jobs and were less satisfied with their financial situation. They were more likely to prefer a job that offers a high income and chances for promotion. As their increasing earnings reach parity and the effects of discrimination and prejudice lessen, these few differences should diminish.
