Measuring Values at Work

Extending Existing Frameworks to the Context of Work

Written by Simon Albrecht, Andrew Marty and Nicholas J. Brandon-Jones

In this paper: Personal values have been shown to be associated with a range of important psychological experiences, attitudes, and behaviors. Researchers and practitioners have, however, called for additional models and measures of employee values, specific to the context of work.

Drawing from Schwartz’s extensively studied model of personal values, this study aimed to develop a scale that researchers and practitioners can use to measure individual work values. Data from 2,968 participants who were currently working or had previous work experience were analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses.
