Pass, J. J.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1977
A study was conducted to derive an Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI) based hierarchical occupational cluster structure which could provide the framework and content for developing an information system applicable to occupational exploration and guidance. (The OAI is an instrument containing 622 work elements which are descriptions of work…

The recent emphasis on career education accentuates the problem of transforming and organizing information work domain into information that can be applied to educational problems. A comprehensive taxonomy of human work and accompanying measurement devices suitable for educational purposes is needed. This report describes a systematic procedure…

Tuttle, Thomas C.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1972
The study attempted to demonstrate significant relationships between systematically derived occupational descriptors and selected measures of worker characteristics in the affective domain. The predictor variables were derived from the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI) and consisted of work-dimension scores describing occupations in terms of…

Riccobono, John A.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1971
This study represents one phase of a broader research project designed to develop and test the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI). The specific objective of the present investigation was to systematically derive a comprehensive set of work dimensions that could be used in describing and classifying jobs for educational purposes. The OAI was…

Riccobono, John A.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1971
This study represents one phase of a broader research project designed to develop and test the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI). The study is basically a replication of an earlier study which derived a set of work dimensions for classifying jobs for educational purposes. Using a new sample of 400 jobs, the present study is designed to determine…

Ergometrics, the application of psychometric principles and procedures to the study of human work, draws from theories and principles of human behavior as well as from established procedures in psychological measurement and job analysis. The project described employs ergometrics to describe, compare, and group occupations for educational purposes.…

Cunningham, J. W.; And Others – 1975
A study was done to explore the feasibility of developing a set of activity preference (interest) scales corresponding to twenty-two second (higher) order work dimensions derived from the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI). (The OAI is an instrument containing 622 work elements which are descriptions of work activities and conditions on which…

Pass, J. J.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1975
A study was done (1) to derive a revised set of attribute-requirement weights for the 622 work elements (descriptions of work activities and conditions) contained in the job-rating instrument, the Occupation Analysis Inventory (OAI), on the 103 human attributes descriptions (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective) in the Attribute Requirement…

Cunningham, J. W. – 1971
This monograph has four main objectives: (1) to define the field of ergometrics, (2) to identify some potential applications of ergometrics to problems in occupational or career education, (3) to review the relevant research literature, and (4) to suggest some conceptual approaches that might be used in conjunction with ergometric procedures.…

Boese, R. R.; Cunningham, J. W. – 1975
Based upon an occupational rating instrument entitled the Occupational Analysis Inventory (OAI), this study sought to produce a more stable and interpretable set of OAI job analysis factors. The study was designed (1) to obtain OAI ratings on an additional 600 jobs and thus enlarge the sample to 1,414 jobs and (2) to derive a meaningful set of…
