The Effects of Generational Status on the Work Attitudes of Mexican Americans

St. Mary’s University

Responses to 22 surveys representative of the U.S. labor force were used to examine intergenerational differences in seven work attitudes among first-(n = 99), second-( n = 49), and third-generation (n = 26) Mexican Americans and European Americans (n = 11,085). There were only minor differences between the work attitudes of first-generation Mexican Americans and the larger population,and by the second generation,differenceswere virtually nonexistent. The lack of differences may be related to the immigration policies of the United States. The findings add to the accumulating evidence that the work attitudes of Mexican Americans are not meaningfully different from those of the larger population.
