- W262390955 abstract "When the terror attacks of 9/11 occurred, there was much research conducted about the attitudes of workers, parents, and students. After the one-year anniversary passed, however, the amount of research declined significantly. This study is a follow-up of our initial article in which we surveyed college students immediately after 9/11 to determine their anxiety levels and how those levels translated into workplace intentions. Now that five years have passed since those events, what is the state of mind of current students who will soon be in the job market? We surveyed a sample of this population (n=749) and compared the results against those from the original study to determine whether anxiety levels remained the same. We also inquired about workplace concerns such as size, location, and security measures. The results indicate that although anxiety is not extremely high for most students, neither has it returned to the pre-2001 level. ********** It has been five years since the terror attacks in the US moved its citizens into a new reality--one of uncertainty and fear. There is a concern that another terrorist attack will occur and a perception that the country is not well prepared to respond to such an attack (Redlener, Markenson & Grant, 2003). Terrorism is defined as politically [including ideologically, religiously or socially--but not criminally] motivated violence, directed generally against non-combatants, intended to shock and terrify, to achieve a strategic outcome (Howie, 2005:2). Certainly, we in the US are living with the aftereffects of a terrorist attack. But to what extent have people remained tense and anxious about the future? Have they changed any significant areas of their lives in response to these fears? In a study by the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health in 2003 the fear levels of a sample of New York City residents as well as a national sample were measured (Redlener, Markenson & Grant, 2003). At that time 76% of Americans and 81% of New Yorkers were concerned or very concerned about future terror attacks. Half of parents nationally and 70% of New Yorkers reported being more concerned about personal and family safety with regard to terrorism. The study also found that residents still considered NYC a terrorist target. Other effects of the attacks have been observed in the tourism industry, the economy and consumer spending (Chen & Noriega, 2003; Thomas, 2002). Their study, conducted a year after the attacks, investigated intentions to travel and perceptions of the effects of Sept. 11th on the tourism industry and whether people had changed their travel behaviors since that time. Importance of safety in destination/activity choice, security measures at airports, and changes in spending patterns, travel decisions, and leisure pursuits were compared for faculty versus students. The results of the study indicated that faculty members were more likely to experience the changes in their life, travel decisions, and activity choices than students. In the months immediately following the attacks, the economy struggled with corporate earnings down and GDP growth negative (Dobbs, 2002). Corporations functioned in a paternal role trying to assist employees with their anxiety and fear (NEHRA leaders reflect, 2006). There was a general attitude that things in the workplace would never be the same. A study of 146 companies conducted by the Bureau of National Affairs found that employee anxiety increased in 3 out of 4 firms (Caudron, 2002). This continuing anxiety about terrorism is the most important political trend that will affect the workplace of the future (Schramm & Burke, 2004.) The longer term effects have not been as dramatic as was expected. A survey done in 2006 by the National Safety Council revealed that employee concerns about terrorism ranked fourth at 52% among safety issues (Workers' safety concerns, 2006). Some behavioral changes have occurred, however; for example, there are a larger percentage of employees who currently live near family, have shown less interest in relocating and more often are choosing time with family over advancement opportunities (NEHRA leaders reflect, 2006). …" @default.
