Job Satisfaction--Antecedents and Associations Report to the U.S. Department of Education, 1982 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: U.S. Department of Education Keyword(s): Family Influences; High School Completion/Graduates; High School Curriculum; Socioeconomic Status (SES); Vocational Education This study used data from the NLSY, integrated with the high school transcripts of a substantial proportion of those youth who had already graduated from high school, to consider the nature and the associations of job satisfaction for those who were employed. A factor analysis of those survey items that were intended to tap job satisfaction, together with other items having construct potential, identified four forms of job satisfaction: (1) personal on-the-job development; (2) working conditions; (3) job rewards; and (4) human interactions. These were related to vocational education, job characteristics, race and sex, hourly rate of pay, occupation, and motivation. Vocational education was found to be positively related to working conditions and, indirectly, to personal on-the-job development and job rewards. The largest factor in job satisfaction was occupation, which was usually, although not always, positive. |

Vocational Education and the High School Dropout Report, U.S. Department of Education, Columbus OH: National Center for Research in Vocational Education, The Ohio State University, 1982.

Dropping out of high school has important implications for individuals, as well as for society as a whole. Individuals who do not complete high school are likely to have a more negative labor market experience than graduates, especially in terms of unemployment. The societal impact includes foregone tax dollars, and possible increased welfare and prison expenses. Vocational education represents a potential strategy for increasing the relevancy of education for dropout-prone youth, and thus a means of encouraging them to complete their high school education. |
