Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of the 'marginal' occupation by focusing on the engineering technician role. The engineering technician role is an interstitial one, serving as a bridge between the engineer and the skilled production worker. The author argues that this position creates role strain for engineering technicians as they grapple with issues of identity, status, and career aspirations. The book examines the various ways in which engineering technicians adapt to these tensions, including job hopping, search for intrinsic work satisfaction, and efforts to obtain an engineering degree. The author also compares the position of engineering technicians in different countries, noting that cultural differences in educational systems and value systems influence the extent of marginality experienced by these workers. Overall, the book provides a nuanced understanding of the engineering technician occupation and the challenges and opportunities faced by its members.
