This study compares the need satisfactions of managers in field work with the need satisfactions of similar managers in central office work with a government agency There was greater satisfaction among those in field work especially with respect to certain higher-level needs Also, a comparison was made of the need satisfactions of all respondents in the government agency with those of a similar group from private industry. The satisfaction of the government managers was less across all need items than the satisfaction of the private industry managers A perceptual halo effect created by the insecure conditions existing in the government agency at the time the study was conducted may explain this finding.
Insider trading is viewed as a threat to the fairness and integrity of the capital markets. The securities market's allocation of resources depends on: (1) the preservation of a fair system in which investors are willing to trade, and (2) the assurance that market participants are properly rewarded for identifying good investment opportunities. The duties and responsibilities of market participants in acquiring and using information can be based on their fiduciary duties, the obligations associated with the possession of price-sensitive information, or the processes by which the information is acquired.
