Predicting restaurant managers' performance by central life interest
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictivity of restaurant managers' central life interest scores to performance and tenure and how restaurant managers were measured as job-oriented in their central life interest scores. The predictivity of a combination of central life interest scores and subjects' demographic variables to performance and tenure were also explored. The central life interest scores were not found to be a good predictor of performance or tenure. In general, the subjects in this sample were not job-oriented in their central life interest scores. However, they tended to be job-oriented in the aspects of membership of formal organization and technological environment but non-job-oriented in informal personal relations and general everyday experience. Marital status did affect subjects' central life interest scores. Married managers without children seemed to be more job-oriented than managers in any other marital status.
