Description
Summary:Suggests a multifaceted definition of personal values incorporating both life and work values, and tests it empirically. Data obtained from a sample of 165 Israeli managers and workers supported the structural hypotheses. An empirical 3-dimensional conical structure was revealed by means of Smallest Space Analysis. Life and work values were found to occupy 2 distinct regions, and could be partitioned further according to the modality and focus facets of personal values. Health, happiness, and love were the most important life values for this sample, while job interest, responsibility, and fair supervision had the highest rank order in the work values hierarchy.
