ABSTRACT
This chapter considers the individual as a unit of an operating organization. The indifferent person is the least animated of the several types of industrial workers. The most loyal employees, and the most bitter critics of the organization, are to be found among work-oriented people. The stable work period is characterized by final and more or less irrevocable commitment to a career. Community-oriented workers are likely to exhibit a distinctive kind of adjustment to work. Variations in regional work opportunities, and even in work opportunities among different sections of a city, may set the limits within which the individual can make occupational choices. The individual frequently enters the labor market in ignorance of available jobs and potential opportunities. The supervision of job performance is largely a question of maintaining standards of quality and quantity. The supervision of people with indifferent orientation entails unique problems.
