| Abstract: | This paper extends Becker's theory of altruism in the family to social interactions in the workplace, using motives measured by social psychologists. Altruism in the family is measured by a transfer of money income to the spouse which is motivated by affiliation. Data from the first nationwide survey of TAT-measured personality dispositions are used to show that a head of household with children maximizes family income only if he is motivated by affiliation towards his wife and has a stronger motive for power than affiliation in managerial situations. Additional motive patterns are found which account for significant differences in family income. |
