5028.60 Perceptions of a change process in a foundry: The role of trust, Pedro Neves, António
Caetano, ISCTE, Portugal
Behavioral patterns in organizations are very difficult to change, although the need to change them
is recognized. Collaborator perceptions towards change are seen as the cognitive precursor of the
behaviors of support or resistance to change (Armenakis, Harris & Mossholder, 1993). Similarly,
the importance of trust in the implementation of change programs has been recognized since long
ago. In a study developed in a national foundry, after the implementation of a European Quality
norm, we studied the relationship between perceptions of the change process, interpersonal trust in
the supervisor and other organizational variables, such as relational justice and satisfaction.
5028.61 A project of attribution training about employee’s self-efficacy, Fang Xuemei,
Department of Psychology, East China Normal University, China
Organizational psychologists have paid so much attention to the applications of self-efficacy in the
field of Organizational Behavior. Many researches have proved that self-efficacy can best forecast
work performance. In the same time, self-efficacy has positive correlation with work satisfactions
and worker promises. Today, we maybe have many ways to improve workers’ self-efficacy, but we
have not considered the way of attribution training. In this article, I will give an
attribution-training project based on an experimental research, which will offer some advice to
self-efficacy training. Attribution training should also be considered as an important element to
workers’ well being.
5028.62 Relationships between work- accident and personality, Esfandiar Azad-Marzabadi,
Baghiyatallah University Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran
In this article the relationships between work-accident and personality individuals in a industrial
factory have been concerned. Subjects included 186 workers which divided into two matched
control and experimental groups. Instruments included Eysenk Personality Questionnaire and a
teacher-made inventory. The range age of the subjects was from6 to 45. All subjects were
examined on audio-vision and did not show physical problems. Results revealed that there were
significant differences on stability-neuroticisim between two groups. In addition, the study failed
to support the idea that the individuals with more work-accident background are more likely to be
extrovert.

Argentina
We research in the areas of Work, Education and Health; taking into account the complexity of the
laboral-educational project’ s expectations, in the field of Educational Community. We used a
survey to explore the teenager’s ideals in relation with people they admire. We searched for their
self-images in comparison with nowadays teenager’ characteristic features. The results remarks:
“rebel”, “ability”. We take into account the positive value of relatives’ attributes: “affective
contention”, “the struggle”. We also investigate, the teachers’ and relatives’ influence in the
laboral-educational project, to increase the knowledge about the factors which determine the
building up of this project.
