Abstract: | In this study path analysis is applied to the relationships among personal management, resource satisfaction, sense of control, and quality of life. Analysis of survey data from men and women of two cultures provides empirical support for: the conceptual model of resources as inputs; management behavior as throughputs; and satisfactions as outputs. Cultural versus economic effects are analyzed. Management is shown to be related to productivity in all cultural groups. Management behavior directly and indirectly contributes to resource satisfaction, and through increased sense of control contributes to quality of life. |
