| Abstract: | This longitudinal study investigated work-related difficulties in young professional engineers after three years (n=380) and four years (n=350) work experience. Four areas of difficulty were identified as a result of factor analysis: people, information, technical matters, report-writing. Technical difficulties were less often mentioned than the other categories at both time periods. Role stress, environmental frustration, engineering field, and perceived quality of training were related to people's difficulties. Those who worked in engineering design and consultancy reported more technical difficulties. Role stress was related to report-writing and, to a lesser extent to information difficulties. A number of correlations were found. |
