Facets of Personal Values: A Structural Analysis of Life and Work Values

Abstract

On a traditionnellement enqu&tC sur les valeurs gCnCrales de vie et les valeurs de travail sCparCment. L'objectif de la prCsente Ctude Ctait de suggCrer une dCfinition a plusieurs facettes des valeurs personnelles, intCgrant a la fois les valeurs de vie et de travail et de la tester empiriquement. Des donnkes recueillies a partir d'un Cchantillon de 165 directeurs et employCs IsraCliens viennent a I'appui des hypothbses structurelles de 1'Ctude. Une structure empirique conique tridimensionnelle a CtC mise en evidence au moyen d'une analyse spatiale fine (Smallest Space Analysis). Les valeurs relatives 2 la vie et celles relatives au travail y occupent deux regions distinctes pouvant Ctre toutes deux dCcoupCes plus avant selon la modalit6 (matkrielle, affective et cognitive) et la focalisation (focalisee ou diffuse) des facettes des valeurs personnelles. La santC, le bonheur, et l'amour Ctaient, pour cet Cchantillon, les valeurs de vie les plus importantes, tandis que I'intCrgt pour le poste, la responsabilitC, un chef equitable venaient au premier rang dans la hiCrarchie des valeurs de travail. Les rksultats sont discutCs dans le cadre d'hypothbses de compensation ou de report concernant la question des rapports entre travail et non travail.General life values and work values have traditionally been investigated independently. The objective of the present study was to suggest a multifaceted definition of personal values incorporating both life and work values, and to test it empirically. Data obtained from a sample of 165 Israeli managers and workers supported the structural hypotheses of the study. An empirical three-dimensional conical structure was revealed by means of Smallest Space Analysis. Life and work values were found to occupy two distinct regions, and both could be partitioned further according to the modality (material, affective, and cognitive) and focus (focused and diffuse) facets of personal values. Health, happiness, and love were the most important life values for the present sample, while job interest, responsibility, and fair supervisor had the highest rank order in the work values hierarchy.

Personal values, social capital, and higher education student career decidedness: a new ‘protean’-informed model

“…Several (standardized) semi-structured focus group questions were developed to: (a) help compare results against the survey data, and; (b) uncover new and emerging themes across the 4 focus groups (see Wolff, Knodel and Sittitrai 1993;Yin 2002 Personal values are measured using Kahle (1983) and Kahle, Beatty and Homer's (1986) shortened list of values (LoV), similar to (Watchravesringkan et al, 2013). We assigned a core modality facet for each individual personal value item, namely: 'affective'; 'cognitive'; or 'material', based on the classifications and criteria used by Elizur and Sagie (1999) and Sagie and Elizur (1996). This internal designation is useful for researchers evaluating factor structure at item level, as it helps examine which individual personal values remain (or drop-out) after exploratory factor analysis.…”

“…In terms of theory development, three core 'personal value facets' or subtypes were measured (based on Elizur and Sagie 1999;Sagie and Elizur 1996) …”

“…Durante as duas últimas décadas, o conceito tem assumido um papel cada vez mais central nas explicações de nível de atitude individual, intenções e comportamentos (SCHWARTZ, 1992;GUTTMAN, 1994;ELIZUR, 1996;1999;SAGIE et al, 2005).…”

Valores Relativos Ao Trabalho De Pesquisadores Em Uma Organização Brasileira

“…Embora seja ainda citada na literatura sobre valores laborais, a teoria de Super (1953) não apresenta uma definição consistente sobre esse conceito, confundindo-o com o conceito de satisfação no trabalho (Porto & Tamayo, 2008). Elizur and Sagie (1999) também são autores de importantes estudos sobre valores laborais, propondo teorias e definições. Para eles, os valores laborais são os fatores desejados pelas pessoas no trabalho.…”
