This study investigates the association between the pre-service teachers' work values and lifelong learning tendencies. The sample of the study consists of 248 pre-service teachers studying in three different universities (two states and one private) in Turkey in the academic year 2020-2021. They were selected through convenience sampling. The…

This study aimed to assess the emotional intelligence and work values of the selected instructors from a teacher education institution. The researcher used a descriptive correlational design in this study with the questionnaire as the main instrument of gathering data. Thirty instructors took part in the survey via convenience sampling. For the…

In this investigation, a sample of counselors-in-training's (CITs) work values, occupational engagement, and professional quality of life were explored at pre- and post-completion of a career counseling course. In relation to work values, participants highly valued balance, support, helping, and honesty within their careers, while power,…

Test-retest data on Super's Work Values Inventory-Revised for a group of predominantly White ("N" = 995) women (mean age = 23.5 years, SD = 8.07) and men (mean age = 21.5 years, SD = 5.80) showed stability in mean-level scores over a period of 1 year for the sample as a whole. However, low raw score and rank order stability coefficients…

This study applies a multidimensional scaling (MSD) technique to investigate the structural validity of the Work Values Inventory for Adolescents with a sample of Italian students. The MSD results indicated the presence of two underlying orthogonal dimensions: individuality versus sociality and conservation versus exploration. Implications for…

Despite the importance of work values in the process of career adjustment (Dawis, 2002), little empirical research has focused on articulating the domains represented within the construct of work values and the examination of evidence of validity for the construct has been limited. Furthermore, the larger number of work values measures has made it…

The psychometric properties of Super's Work Values Inventory-Revised (SWVI-R) were examined in a sample of 213 African American college students. Results indicated that the 12-values scales were as reliable and as valid in a sample of African Americans as has been demonstrated within a predominantly White college student sample. Values of…

A study was conducted to ascertain if there were a difference in the work values of students who participated in cooperative education classes as compared to students who were enrolled in regular vocational and academic classes. Two questions, each with three subparts, were formulated to determine the effects of the three different programs on…

The authors examined the chief work values, assessed by Super's Work Values Inventory--Revised (D. G. Zytowski, 2004b), across interest groups organized by the 6 Holland theme scales of the Kuder Career Search (D. G. Zytowski, 2004a). Results strengthen vocational theory through clarification of gender differences and conceptual commonalities…

This study attempted to determine the predominant work values among Singaporean students, possible changes in the work values of adolescents as they proceed from early to late adolescence, and the role of gender in forming work values. Using a cross-sectional design and stratified random sampling techniques, a sample of 645 boys and 735 girls was…

Work values, measured by Super's Work Value Inventory, indicate that females rate extrinsic values relating to personal work environment as more important, while males prefer intrinsic values such as stimulation, independence, and creativity. Differences appear to reflect differences in intensity of response rather than marked differences in value…

Undergraduates (n=101) selected careers using different models: (1) Expected Utility; (2) Sequential Elimination; or (3) unguided selection. Evaluation of decision quality showed the highest payoff from Expected Utility, which differed significantly in terms of frequency of selection of different types of careers. The other models did not differ…

On the basis of previous research findings, 32 new items were added to Super's Work Values Inventory (WVI) and the resulting instrument was administered to 611 high school sophmores. Analyses supported the addition of items to the WVI. The scale intercorrelations and factorial dimensions of both versions were highly comparable; the addition of…

This study investigated the effect of social class, race, and sex on the work values of ninth-grade students in a large metropolitan area. Results indicated that the primary differences were for the dependent variables of race and sex. In general, low social position black females scored low on the work values scales. (Author)

Super's Work Values Inventory is utilized in making interindividual and intraindividual comparative interpretations of work values. Internal consistency reliability coefficients for 15 scales and reliabilities of differences between scores on scales were of such a weak magnitude that caution in making interindividual and intrindividual comparisons…
