Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if professional life insurance agents are homogeneous in their perceived values for joining and remaining affiliated with their professional association. Comparisons have been made of the values given twenty reasons normally considered important in influencing individuals to join or remain in an association. Comparisons are made of the obtained values from different groups: ordinary agents compared to combination agents, urban agents compared to rural agents, the effect of serving on the board of directors of a local or state association as compared to not serving. A comparison of the effect that an agent's age, number of years that he is a member of the association, and the number of years that he is in the insurance business has on his perceived value for joining or remaining in the association. These comparisons were made at the state and local association level.
