Abstract
Attitudinal differences between full- and part-time employees were tested among 129 full-time and 62 part-time Canadian employees. It was found that full-time employees perceived their jobs to be fuller in scope than did part-time employees. Part-time employees reported a higher level of satisfaction with the social context of their jobs and with their supervisors than did full-time employees. These differences remained significant even after the effects of sex were taken into account. No significant differences were found between the two groups with regard to pay satisfaction and overall job satisfaction.Keywords
