RELATIONSHIP OF TYPE-A SCORES TO CAREERS AT PLATEAU AND JOB-SATISFACTION

167 officers of financial institutions in the West answered a questionnaire measuring Type A behavior and a semantic differential scale for job satisfaction. Men and women had similar characteristics except the men had more education and higher salaries. Type A scores were correlated with not being at plateau for men only. Job satisfaction was not related to Type A scores for men or women. Neither was salary related to Type A scores. Working long hours had a significant association with careers not at plateau for men but not for women.
