Social scientists provide different answers to the question of "why people change jobs", depending on their theoretical orientations. The approaches of rational sociologists maintain that people constantly calculate an input-output or cost-benefit ratio at work. They stay on the job if the balance is in their favour. The disposational approaches, however, propose that people's subjective and comparative job status cannot be overlooked. People would thus stay on a job if their working norms or career goals have been met by their current jobs. To add one more dimension to those job change studies, structural-orientated sociologists propose that social structure differentiates people's alternatives in job moves. Those people who have a limited range of opportunity should be less mobile than those who have more opportunities. To this researcher, working men/women are simultaneously economic, psychological, and sociological in their strive for the highest work rewards. Their job change behaviour should thus be approached through embracing the efficiencies from all the three perspectives under discussion. This researcher has used a survey of stratification and political beliefs conducted in China in 1987 to test her propositions and arguments. A path model has been developed in this paper to show how competing perspectives in the field could be combined into a framework for a better understanding of job moves. Our path analysis starts with a Chinese version of status attainment: workplace stratification, occupational prestige, and work income. It then explores how the fact of belonging to different work status groups affects people's opinions about their work achievement. The model finally demonstrates that a close relationship exists between the overall power structure and people's job change intention in 1986 urban China. In 1986, like in many other countries of the world, voluntary job change in China had become for the first time a feasible mechanism for people's status improvement. However, the power structure still determined, first, the differentiation of various work positions; second, who got what positions; and, third, the amount of movement among those positions. The socialist ideology, moreover, still played a large role in people's subjective work status.
