Watts, Gale. "Identifying career orientations of female, non-managerial employees at Virginia Tech." Diss., Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1989. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/54805.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the career orientations of women employed at lower levels of an organizational hierarchy in occupations not usually considered professions. Career orientations are constructs for those values, attitudes and motivations inside the person which develop through accumulated work experience, and which serve to guide, constrain, stabilize and integrate the person's career. According to the career anchor/career orientation model of adult career development, an individual's career orientation greatly affects the career decisions that person makes. Individuals’

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors which influence the off-campus rental housing choices of students attending Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. An interview schedule was developed and administered by telephone to a random sample of 204 Virginia Tech students who were renting off-campus housing in Blacksburg, Virginia. The data were examined by analysis of means, frequencies, correlations, and t-tests. The findings revealed significant differences (p<.01) between students who lived in traditional rental apartments and students who lived in student condo

Abstract:

This study was designed to identify the unique shaping of the university/student relationship through the lens of the in loco parentis concept. The questions asked were to what extent has in loco parentis defined the relationship of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and its students through the institution's history as framed by: (a) the institution's mission, (b) university governance, (c) the definition of in loco parentis, and (d) institutional culture? Has in loco parentis found its sustenance at this institution through legal or cultural justification, or both? Qualitat

Abstract:

Stress fractures are common overuse injuries that have plagued athletes for many years. Often referred to as fatigue fractures, they are formed when the skeletal muscles fatigue and can no longer absorb the shock of repetitive pounding activities such as running. Stress fractures are most common in the weight-bearing bones of the lower extremities and are usually preceded by sudden increases or changes in training routines. Because they are most common in athletes who are least fit, it has been hypothesized that freshmen athletes who are not prepared for the increased physical demands of col

Abstract:

This thesis is an exploration of objects and their ability to create a between. Objects are the principal focus of this thesis. Objects arise from a desire to express the richness of three dimensions. Betweens evolve from the relationship between objects. The between is a thing, just as clearly as the object is a thing. It is a hallway, a door or a room. Knowing that a between needs to accommodate a particular function can help shape the relationship of the objects, but does not shape the objects themselves.

Abstract:

The objective of this thesis was to identify and measure the effect of factors that influenced income earnings of former agricultural students. Data were obtained from a questionnaire mailed to former Virginia Tech students, all of whom were enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences during 1977. An analysis of the 243 respondents was conducted with emphasis on educational profiles, labor market entry and participation, and personal characteristics. Models based on human capital and labor market principles were developed to explain differences in individual incomes. Earned income

The purpose of this study was to assess a graduation rate that included those athletes, with at least a 2.0 QCA, who departed Virginia Tech between 1975 and 1985. An additional purpose was to determine why these athletes left. There were seventy eligible participants who received questionnaires via mail. Forty questionnaires were returned, of which, t

From the reservoir, these gateways frame the distant mountains giving the urban room a location. The room itself is essentially empty, for it is hardly a statement but, rather, the preparation for one. The room is for the life of the academic village. Giving

Abstract:

My efforts to discover a means of making a more effective sculpture led me to pursue architecture. The problem with sculpture as I saw it was that it had been deformed over time from that which marked a place into a placeless isolate. Just as I worked against that placeless isolate in sculpture, so am I now working against the placeless isolate in architecture. The aspects of architecture, the site, the plan, elements and materials, although acting phenomenally in conjunction with other coexisting elements, are often conceived as isolates.
