Power and Commitment: An Empirical Assessment
In: Human relations: towards the integration of the social sciences, Band 28, Heft 8, S. 737-753

There is some question as to the usefulness of Etzioni's typological theory of compliance in organizational research. This study with a sample of 265 blueand white-collar workers in six organizations tests propositions from the theory concerning relationships between power used by organizations, commitment of workers to the organization and task performance. The results cast doubt on the usefulness of a classification scheme using concrete organizational types, but support the proposition that the more normative (less utilitarian) the power, the greater the commitment. Little or no relationship was found between power and task performance or commitment and task performance.

A revision of a paper presented at the annual meeting of the Pacific Sociol'al Assoc, Honolulu, Hawaii, Apr 8-10, 1971. General cultural changes re sex as portrayed in general public periodicals between 1950, 1960, & 1970 were studied via content analysis. The periodicals were: Readers' Digest, McCalls, Lifer Look, Saturday Evening Post, Time. & Newsweek. The hypothesis that the N of references to sex increased with each subsequent decade is supported by the data; It increased by 82% from 1950 to 1960 & by 111% from 1950 to 1970, with the greatest increase occurring in the 1950's rather than the 1960's. A 2nd hyp, that the number of liberal references to sex increased with each decade, is also supported but not with the strength & intensity expected. In 1950, 40.8% of the total references were classified as liberal; in 1960, 42.9%, & in 1970, 44.9%. Conservative references to sex remained unchanged from 1960 to 1970. Comparisons are made with a similar study by A. Ellis, THE FOLKLORE OF SEX (New York, NY: Grove Press, 1961). Utilizing Ellis' classificatory system an attempt was made to ascertain possible changes in coverage of particular sexual activities over the yrs. References to extramarital sex relations followed the same pattern found by Ellis in 1960-a consistently diminishing % of conservative references from 1950 to 1970, while liberal references showed a consistent increase. Reference to noncoital sex relations (kissing, petting, masturbation) show the most consistent & rapid decrease of any of the categories, agreeing with Ellis' conclusions. The % of references to abortion, birth cnntrol, pregnancy, & illegitimacy increased more than any other category, by 118% from 1950 to 1970. References to sex 'perversions' (homosexuality & sex crimes) also increased & show a shift toward a liberal orientation. 1 Table. M. Maxfield.
