Community involvement of the Indian worker
Abstract
The paper attempts to measure the extent to which indus
trial workers participate in the affairs of their neighbour
hood and community of residence and the factors that
affect such participation. The workers in the present
study were highly concerned over and interested in the
problems facing th??r neighbourhood and community
of residence. However, their actual community involve
ment was rather low. Whatever community involvement
the workers did show was associated only with level of
education and socio-economic status, while several other
factors failed to predict community involvement. The
author explores the reasons for the low level of commu
nity involvement and also for its relatively low predict
ability. The implications of these findings are also
discussed.
