<<Back All jobs include a collection of differing tasks and activities that are commonly performed in one or more environmental settings. None of us will find the “perfect” job, free from all tasks and activities that we wish to avoid and seldom do we find ourselves in the “perfect” environmental setting. True satisfaction with career paths and job choices comes when we are able to structure and balance the tasks and activities that are part of our daily work experience based upon our personalities and preferences. Some activities and the environmental settings in which they occur will be attractive to and preferred by some individuals. Other individuals may dislike and tend to avoid those same situations. This does not indicate that any activity in its environment is good or bad, nor does it imply that one group of individuals is right and the other wrong. It merely points to the interaction of human activities and individual differences. The Majors Occupational Environment Measure (MajorsOEM™) is a 93-item instrument that measures interests, tasks/activities and environmental settings. This information is used to form separate Preference and Avoidance scales for 11 Occupational Action Groupings (OAG; 22 scales total), as well as 6 scales of Global Interest Areas (GIA; provides Holland Occupational Code) that represent aspects of developed personality. The OEM is simple and easy to administer by e-mail access link. The MajorsOEM takes on average 15 minutes to complete and is valid for ages 16 (high school juniors) and up. The Majors OEM™ – Satisfaction and Retention Profile (Majors OEM-SRP™) report is intended to help individuals maximize their occupational satisfaction. The results are descriptive and not part of any complex theory. They do not tell clients what to do or encourage them to make career changes. The information is based upon their responses across 11 different groupings of common occupational tasks and activities and the environments in which they occur. The following are the 11 areas of tasks and activities that are sampled on the Majors OEM™.
Clients will be able to see their preference and avoidance patterns across these 11 areas. The report contains brief descriptions of the 11 occupational areas to help clients understand their individual pattern of results. Suggestions for using the information in the report to improve occupational satisfaction and further reading are included. Business Applications
