Nein
Findings:
The majority of the test persons (n = 11) agree or strongly agree with this statement. Two test persons (TP 01, TP 09) answer with "neither nor" and two further test persons with "disagree" (TP 05, TP 10).
Test person 05 justifies her "disagree" answer with her rejection of the term "pride": "I am happy to work in my company and do my job well and with pleasure. But proud? Pride is something I personally don't know that much about anyway. I would be proud if I did something more noble, e.g. animal rescuers, doctors, rescue services, they really do save people. Or development aid." (TP 05).
Three test persons (TP 02, TP 03, TP11) state that they thought of their company/organization and not of their current activity as intended when answering this statement. The remaining 12 test persons said that they were thinking about their current job or (identical) learned profession. Only test person 15 refers (erroneously) to her learned occupation when answering the item, which however does not correspond to her current activity.
