Abstract: | Increasingly employers are testing employees for illicit drug use. Employees vary in their degree of acceptance of drug-testing
policies. Both job and individual characteristics are hypothesized to affect individuals’ reactions to drug-testing policies.
The first study reported here investigated the effect of job impact, job interdependence, sex, and age on four aspects of
the acceptability of a drug-testing policy. While there was no effect for the job characteristics, both age and sex had significant
effects. A follow-up study which focused solely on employee characteristics replicated the age effect. Implications are discussed. |
