Description
Regression analyses were used to test the influence of individual
characteristics such as I. Q., job satisfaction, race,
and sex upon the work performance evaluation completed by job
site supervisors for a single cohort of participants in a CETA
sponsored training program conducted in Broward County, Florida.
The CETA cohort was composed of two sub-groups, grantee employees
(CETA Title VI participants) and regular employees (entry-level
municipal employees). The initial regression analyses
yielded evidence of contextual effects operating within the CETA
cohort. Although the two sub-groups were similar in demographic
composition, I. Q. operated as a major predictor among the
grantee employees, but for the regular employees it was race
(black). These analyses were supported by further multiple
group comparison tests, and, together, suggested that other
factors in the environment may have a greater impact on evaluated
job performance and eventual job success rather than
individual worker characteristics. Based Oil these findings
proposals are made outlining potential modifications of
minority job training programs.
