title: Personal history and job tenure of dietary employees.
abstract: Possible relationships of six personal characteristics reported on application blanks and job tenure of hospital dietary employees were statistically analyzed. By chisquare analysis, three characteristics--age (forty-six years or older), marital status (widowed or divorced), and education (less than nine years)--appeared to be positively related to longer tenure (over six months). However, multiple regression analysis to determine the combined effect of all variables indicated no relationship which could be used to predicting tenure when employing dietary workers.
