Abstract
In this article, we explore the explanation for the link between social class position, according to the EGP92, and economic progressiveness, based on a survey of 656 Flemish employees. First, we highlight three objective characteristics which are supposed to form the work-related, objective ‘translation’ of three key variables in stratification research, i.e. income, status and power. We then expect these three characteristics to influence two subjective attitudes: locus of control and relative deprivation. We hypothesise that these two intermediate variables offer an explanation for the process by which the EGP-position is ‘translated’ into economic attitudes. Results largely confirm our hypotheses. The results also show that autonomy and income have an additional, autonomous effect on economic progressiveness.
