730.0. "Need Engineers for Values Study" by TENAYA::SWHEELER (ULTRIX Worksystems CSSE, Palo Alto, CA) Wed Jan 22 1992 19:42

    I am looking for employees in engineering job codes (hardware or
    software) to participate in a study of values for a graduate course
    in the psychology of differences which I am taking.  I posted
    this note in PSYCHOLOGY and have received minimal response, so I
    am branching out :-)
    
    My professor and his colleagues have spent the past 20 years
    collaberating on the development of a comprehensive approach to the
    assessment, identification, and measurement of values (where values
    are the ideals that give significance to our lives, that are reflected
    through the priorities that we choose, and that we act on consistently
    and repeatedly).  Their work led to the development of a list of
    125 values which represent a universal list of values common throughout
    all languages and races (I'll include the list in the first reply).
    
    In addition, they developed an instrument, the Hall-Tonna Inventory
    for measuring the values of individuals.  I am interested in having
    a group of engineers (hopefully equal numbers of men and women) fill
    out the Hall-Tonna Inventory questionnaire in an effort to establish
    common values among technical professionals within a corporate culture
    (DEC), and to look for differences in values between men employed as
    engineers and women employed as engineers.  In addition, I hope to 
    compare the most highly prioritized values of engineers with other 
    cultural groups being studied by fellow students (for example black 
    college students at a prodominately white University).  
    
    I will be making the questionnaire available online so it can be
    filled out and returned electronically.  It consists of 125 questions,
    and takes between 20 and 45 minutes to complete.  I would really
    appreciate your participation.  If you would be willing to participate,
    please send me mail at gilroy::swheeler, I should be ready to send
    out the questionnaires tomorrow or Friday if I get enough response
    (I need aproximately 20 men and 20 women).  Of course, I will
    post the results, and am working on contributing an article on the
    study to "Personnel Perspectives".
    
    Thanks,
    
    Susan

    Would you be interested in a DEC employee who was employed as a
    Hardware Eng. 7 months ago... until our Group was disbanded?  I am
    now driving a forklift truck in a DEC Warehouse.  Needless to say
    my job code is no longer Wage Class IV Hardware Eng.... but Warehouser
    II.
