Abstract	The self-perceived work ethic of industrial employees in information jobs (N=304) and non-information jobs (N=277), and employees' work ethic as assessed by their supervisors, were examined using the Occupational Work Ethic Inventory (OWEI). A Principle Components Analysis yielded four factors (Teamwork, Dependability, Ambition and Self-Control) based on factor loadings equal to or greater than 0.45. A MANOVA analysis revealed significant differences between self-perceived work attitudes of information and non-information employees and their supervisors, and indicated that the self-perceived work attitudes of information and non-information employees were different. Hierarchical Multiple Regression Analysis revealed that female information employees possessed better work attitudes than their male counterparts. No relationships were found to exist between the demographic variables of gender, age, education and length of service for non-information employees. (Contains 15 tables.) (Author).
