The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between             worker attitudes and labor productivity.  This is an interdisciplinary          study which involves integrating industrial sociology with neoclassical         production theory.  A production model will be constructed incorporating        worker-attitude formation which will be tested using data from the U.S.         Postal Service.  This research is important because it will provide a           more fundamental understanding of the interaction between worker                attitudes and productivity.  The decline in the growth rate of                  productivity in the U.S. has been partly attributed to worker attitudes,        and this study will shed light on the validity of this assertion.                                                                                               The model to be developed will combine the formation of worker                  attitudes, based on labor policies, with the technology of production.          This model will be estimated using a large cross-section data base              containing input and output measures for the Postal Service for 1984.  A        significant part of the project is the development of this data base            which will be made available to other researchers.   The research team          combines the skills of highly qualified sociologist, Dr. Zabala, with           those of highly qualified economist, Dr. Norsworthy.  The investigators         have collaborated successfully before, and there is every reason to             believe that they will do so on this project.
