The results showed that Realization at Work was the factor with the highest score; Social Relationships showed correlations with the organizational values Autonomy (p = 0.018), Realization (p = 0.001), Mastery (p = 0.048), Prestige (p = 0.001), Conformity (p = 0.016) and Concern with Community (p = 0.014).
