International Journal of Business Administration, 2012, vol. 3, issue 2, 98-111

Abstract: Organizational researchers have found that work values influence, or are influenced by, other factors. This article explores basic work value dimensions and examines their effect on work outcomes. Study 1 used an exploratory factor analysis of data from 6,500 working persons in Japan and identified 6 basic work values that varied by job category. Study 2 demonstrated that these work values influenced job outcomes such as satisfaction, a sense of personal growth, and perceived skills.
