Living the Good (Work) Life: Implications of General Values for Work Values
Carlstrom, Aaron H.
NACADA Journal, v31 n2 p33-43 Fall 2011
Advances in the understanding of general values from personality and social psychology apply to work values. In this paper, I introduce the concepts of values, value priorities, motivational goals, value types, and personal value systems used to clarify work values. I also introduce the terms basic and broad value and work value types. Second, I organize O*NET work values with Schwartz's 1992 structural model of general values and discuss the implications. Third, I discuss issues to consider when addressing work values, such as life roles, developmental levels, work and life experiences as well as context and cultural variables. Fourth, I conclude the article by providing student learning outcomes about work values for career advising. (Contains 1 figure and 1 table.)
