Description
With the substantial investment in employee fringe benefits by U. S.
industry today, their value as motivators and need-satisfiers becomes
significant. This study explores attitudes toward fringe benefits of
scientists, engineers and other employees in one division of a large
manufacturing company. In addition to a comparison between these
groups, the influence of other factors; specifically age, length of
service and earnings on employee attitudes was measured. The results
showed significant differences between levels in the latter three
categories and between professionals as compared to other employees.
However, the evaluations of the two professional groups did not differ
leading to the conclusion that other factors besides professionalism
affect attitudes toward lower level safety-security or physiological
needs.
