Graduates from two residential postsecondary technical-vocational schools in Georgia were surveyed and served as treatment Group II. Group I was composed of employees who had similar types of jobs and similar qualifications, but did not graduate from either schools. / The mailout survey had two sections: one section had six relevant questions which were incorporated into the survey in an effort to better understand the working environment; a second section addressed two major attitudinal variables which were further subdivided into 20 minor dimensions for rating purposes. Two moderator variables were introduced into the model: age expressed in three categorical levels; 18-28, 29-39 and 40 and older; work experience at three levels, 1-2, 3-4 and 5 or more years. / The major attitudinal variables (factors): job satisfaction and a feeling of success were ranked from highly dissatisfied to highly dissatisfied on a 1-to-4-point scale establishing levels of Vertical Mobility. Vertical Mobility levels were calculated from the data submitted. / Graduate response totaled 445, while nongraduates totaled 238. Graduates had a 16.52% return rate, while other employees had a 13.52%. The cross-sectional study spanned six years (1979-1985). / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 50-02, Section: A, page: 0423. / Major Professor: Willie H.
