      <title>OCCUPATIONAL BEHAVIOUR AND COMMITTMENT OF SEAMEN - PARTS I AND II</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/34111</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The study of seamen in a particular country offers the opportunity of examining various social and occupational aspects of a unique occupational community which has structural parallels in every seagoing nation.  This paper reports the result of a study of seamen of the Israeli Merchant Marine and is based on parts of a comprehensive research project on Recruitment, Development, and Utilization of Manpower in Isrel's Merchant Marine, financed by the Ministry of Transportation, State of Israel.  The purpose of the whole project was to advise the Ministry and the maritime companies regarding manpower policies designed to fill the shortage of professional seamen.  It examines the extent to which social and occupational characteristics and job attitudes of seamen nin the operating departments (deck, engine, radio) are related to differential occupational behaviour.  The second part of the study discusses factors related to differential occupational commitment of seamen.]]></description>

      <title>SHIPBOARD MANPOWER, 1965: A STATISTICAL STUDY OF MEN IN THE PRIVATELY OPERATED U.S. FLAG MERCHANT MARINE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/94</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report describes the size, composition, and employment of the work force manning the privately operated U.S.-Flag Merchant Marine.  It summarizes the characteristics ( as of 1965 ) of seagoing personnel and draws comparisons with the findings of an earlier report, shipboard manpower, a statistical study of men in the U.S. Merchant Marine, 1962-1963.  The characteristics include man-days worked, positions held, highest license held or rating worked, union and union-management affiliation, age, and length of service.  The basic information for the report was developed from U.S. Coast Guard records of employment, biographical, and qualifications data.  ( Author )]]></description>

      <title>THE CHARACTERISTICS, EDUCATION AND EARNINGS OF TECHNICIANS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/770</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The project is concerned with the classification, education, training, and earnings of technicians.  The report seeks an operational definition of the term technical and examines how one classifies individuals into the technical category.  Improved methods of occupational classification are sought using the statistical technique of discriminant analysis to evaluate the impact of unreliably classified workers on the patterns of job activities displayed by workers in what was designated as technical occupations.  A classification procedure based on the discriminant analysis is employed to allow reclassification of certain of the unreliable workers.  The amount and type of education and the training of workers in technical occupations are examined, and differences in education and training are related to differences in earnings.]]></description>

      <title>A TAXONOMY OF MARINE TECHNICIANS AND TECHNOLOGISTS AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR TRAINING THEM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1897</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The three-phase study was to ascertian the essential education, training, and classification characteristics of marine technicians and technologists, suggest their implications to educators, oceanographers, and labor administrators, and develop a taxonomical schema for classifying these personnel.  The methodology included direct observations at sea, extensive interviews with scientists, technicians and technical educators, and the testing of two hypotheses.  Statistical tests included the Pearson r for determining the significance of correlation among marine scientists and oceanographers as to how they classified marine technical personnel, and the Sign test on selected personnel characteristics.  A five-level hierarchy was described for marine technical personnel.  (DLMA abstract)]]></description>
