Summary:
With the substantial investment in employee fringe benefits by U. S. industry today, their value as motivators and need-satisfiers becomes significant. This study explores attitudes toward fringe benefits of scientists, engineers and other employees in one division of a large manufacturing company. In addition to a comparison between these groups, the influence of other factors; specifically age, length of service and earnings on employee attitudes was measured. The results showed significant differences between levels in the latter three categories and between professionals as compared to other employees. However, the evaluations of the two professional groups did not differ leading to the conclusion that other factors besides professionalism affect attitudes toward lower level safety-security or physiological needs.
