AB - This study develops and measures a concept of Work-Role Centrality, mainlyfrom a cognitive perspective, and examines by means of questionnaire data itsdistribution in a representative sample of 778 males participating in the laborforce in Israel. It also investigates the relationship between specific job rewardsand work-role centrality for the five major occupational categories in this sample.Its results show that work-role centrality is a fairly reliable and valid measure:groups of different ethnic origin, educational level, employment status, andoccupation differ in their work centrality, in the directions hypothesized a priori.It also demonstrates that for each occupational category, work centrality isrelated to intrinsic, material, social, and hygienic rewards, regardless of theimportance assigned to these rewards. For all groups the strongest relationship iswith intrinsic rewards. The findings concerning the relationship with intrinsicrewards corroborate previous studies, while the other relationships were notpreviously found.
