Value orientations measured through status orientations were analyzed in an attempt to predict which participants in a training relocation program stay in the receiving community and on the job in an aircraft industry. Data were taken from a study of the occupational and personal adjustment of retrained-relocated workers and their families. Mexican American workers from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas were trained to be aircraft assemblers for 4 weeks near their homes and then were relocated about 500 miles away to work. Personal interviews were obtained from 46 relocatees and from 44 selected relocatees who left their jobs and returned home. Three categories of relocatees were identified: stayers, returnees, and terminals or those who had quit but had not been interviewed after their termination. Results indicated that there may be a unique set of values associating certain classes of jobs and that these led to successful worker adjustment into similar situations, that anticipatory socialization was important in the adjustment process, and that educational orientations were important in placement while social orientations seemed vital to relocation.
