Abstract: ed by Anthony G. Banet, Jr. Barbara A. Gunn. Vacation Skipping—An Occupational Health Hazard. Journal of Extension , 1978, 18 , 6-9. The author’s justification for a paid vacation is that it is good for both the individual and the organization, leading to increased worker productivity and creativity. Because vacations can be seen as necessities, not luxuries, the author’s contention is that people who claim they do not need one are either extremely single-minded or fear job competition. Some reasons to consider taking a vacation: You’ll probably live longer and be in better health; you can enjoy nature; it is a change of pace; you’ll probably do a better job on your return; it will give others a chance to gain supervised experience in your post; vacations renew closeness among family members; and vacations help prepare you for leisure time to come in retirement.

Academy of Management Journal, 1978, 21 , 44-56. College faculty members were surveyed to determine the relationships between trust in administrators and satisfaction and participation in decision making and satisfaction. Trust was found to be much more strongly related to satisfaction than was participation, regardless of the degree of participation respondents reported they had or desired.
