Notes:
The present study investigated the money ethic scale among full-time employees, part-time employed students, and non-employed university students. Confirmatory factor analyses results showed that there was a good fit between the three-factor model and research data for full-time employees and non-employed students and a weaker fit for part-time employees and the whole sample. Further, factors success and evil were predictors of income for full-time employees. Money attitudes were not related to pay satisfaction. Factor budget was associated with life satisfaction for full-time employees and non-employed students. Full-time employees in this sample tended to be older, male, and have higher education than part-time employees and students. Non-employed students tended to have higher life satisfaction, lower protestant work ethic, less type A behavior pattern, and think more strongly that money does not represent their success, that they budget money carefully, and that money is not evil than part-time employees.
