ABSTRACT
The third hypothesis predicted that persons who have made management-orientated career decisions should score higher on the MSCS than persons who intend to make or have made alternate career choices. Three comparisons were made to test this prediction. First, managers in line functions have been compared to similarly placed persons in staff roles. The mean effect for this comparison was .34, with no apparent moderation and the effect was significant. The second comparison has been to compare managers with entrepreneurs. The mean effect here was .09, and was not significant. The final analysis has been to compare the scores of persons who intend to pursue a career in management versus those who express alternate
career interests. The mean effect was .37, an effect which was not further moderated and is significant.
