In the initial phase of industrialization, factory workers socialized in a traditional working milieu are obliged to strictly observe factory rules and constantly apply themselves to their assignment under the hierarchy of formalized supervision. The purpose of this research is to empirically explore the attitude-behavior link of the first generation of factory workers in Laos. The data for this study were collected from a sample of blue-collar workers (N=358) in furniture and garment factories. Our study revealed attitude-behavior links contrary to the manner widely observed in industrialized societies. Two distinct work attitudes were extracted : workers' maladaptation to the factory system and organizational commitment. Workers' maladaptation induces labor turnover and work withdrawal behavior, and organizational commitment enhanced morale. This raises questions about the effectiveness of labormanagement measures taken in Western industrialized societies to enhance both productivity and welfare of workers in non-industrialized societies.
