Kanter's alternative perspective directs attention instead to restricted opportunities for advancement and accomplishment. Specific predictions developed from these two perspectives are tested using multivariate analysis of survey data on female clerical workers in a federal agency. Perceived opportunities for training and for the full use of one's skills are most strongly associated with satisfaction, supporting the latter perspective, while hypotheses drawn from Mills's premise of \"status panic\" receive at best weak support. Research literature is briefly reviewed which suggests that these results are by no means unique to the federal agency studied.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"7 1","pages":"33 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392858071002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Separate analyses were performed for super ordinates and subordinates. The results showed that being allowed to participate was related to perceptions of effectiveness for subordinates but that allowing participation was not related to perceptions of effectiveness for superordinates. For the latter group, only perceptions of centralization were useful as a predictor of perceived effectiveness. The findings cast doubt on some of the social-psychological reasoning underlying many theories of participation and indicate that differences in organizational position need to be accounted for in assessing the organizational consequences of participation.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"7 1","pages":"55 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1980-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392858071003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings show that industrial diffusion has substantial implications for the downgrading argument. Overall, the patterns of change over time are far more complex than a simple upgrading-downgrading dimension would suggest.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"6 1","pages":"184 - 203"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392857962004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The routinization of computer programming, while patterned after its parent field, is also facilitated by recent developments such as \"high-level\" languages, canned programs, and structured programming. The subsequent deskilling of programmers as a group calls into question arguments that increasingly sophisticated technology in the workplace creates work which is more complex and challenging than the work it displaces.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"6 1","pages":"139 - 155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392857962002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using multiple regression analysis, the results demonstrate the necessity of sociological analysis of acceptance and rejection of computer innovations. Individual/occupational factors (training, attitude, experience), work/school factors (grade range, school size), and community factors (community size, distance from central computer) were found to be predictive of adoption of computer technology. These findings demonstrate that when explaining acceptance of new computer techniques it is necessary to go beyond the theory of technological determinism and examine sociocultural determinants.","PeriodicalId":85554,"journal":{"name":"Sociology of work and occupations","volume":"6 1","pages":"227 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/009392857962006","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64916821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
