Work values: A theoretical overview and a model of their effects

Three main streams of research were identified in the field of work values. Based on a series of analyses using multidimensional techniques, the first set of studies attempted to identify the underlying factors or facets of the work values domain. A second group of investigations examined correlates of work values including antecedent and consequent variables. Finally, extensive research on differences in work values' pattern and level by culture have been reported. For purposes of integrating the diverse findings, the basic facets of the work values domain were identified and a model of their effects on behavior was suggested.
