TJ'l EMPLOYMENT PSYCHOLOGY regardless of the work which the individual is doing. On the whole, however, it is not safe to regard the moral qualities as blanket qualities which every individual either has or has not. It is much nearer the truth to regard them as variable quantities, largely contingent upon the en vironment in which the individual is placed. The purpose of the employment manager is to place applicants so far as possible in the most favorable environment. In order to consider this problem more in detail, we may arbitrarily divide all workers into two broad classes, the skilled and the unskilled. The skilled workers have at tained their skill through a long process of education and experience. The very fact that they are skilled compels us to assume that they have determination, ambition, and other desirable moral traits. Moreover, the expert workman is usually interested in his work for its own sake, and, although he, too, is influenced by the size of his wages, the character of his work is an important factor in eliciting his best qualities. The problem here obviously consists of placing the skilled workman at the work for which he has been trained and at which, therefore, he is most likely to manifest his best traits. In the case of the unskilled workman—and by far the larger class is comparatively unskilled—the love of work plays a very small part. In fact, the work is often re garded as monotonous and unpleasant, and is tolerated only because of necessity or as a means to some more pleasant end. The end which the work is made to serve may be family comforts, or pleasure in any one of its various forms. As long as the work of the day brings these outside interests within reach it is tolerated. If it cur tails them, it is likely to elicit the negative moral qualities such as distaste and listlessness. It is a well-known fact
