This study uses the Tobit econometrics technique to investigate the correlates of work tardiness in a large national sample of workers. Evidence is found indicating that (1) marriage and years of work experience have negative and significant effects on tardiness, (2) professionals, managers, and persons commuting long distances to work report more days tardy than others, and (3) tardiness is not correlated with absenteeism.

The pay and benefit satisfaction of public university faculty is examined in two phases. In the first phase, a model containing only demographic correlates is used to predict satisfaction. In the second phase, the demographic variables are coupled with a series of attitudinal variables. For compensation satisfaction, pay level was the primary predictive variable. In addition, dummy variables for several academic disciplines, as well as a number of the attitudinal variables, were also significant. For satisfaction with indirect benefits, perceptual variables were the primary predictors. Implications for the management of public sector university faculty and methodological issues are discussed.
