31-4 The Stability and Change of Taiwanese Work Values: Ten Years Later

The present research conducted a follow-up survey to investigate the work values of college graduates who were born during 1970s and had been surveyed in 1999. One hundred and eighty two workers' work values measured from an indigenous work value scale were compared with their responses ten years ago. Results revealed that both individual- and relationship-oriented intrinsic and extrinsic work values are relative stable. The following work values were relatively unstable stable: security and safety, autonomy and flexibility, balance between work and life. In comparison with the responses ten years ago, workers now valued more on intrinsic challenge and growth, extrinsic reward, stability and security of work and less concerned about power, status and leadership, which might reflect the influences of economic recession and societal change. The relationship between beliefs in parenthood and work values measured ten years later suggests that female workers' beliefs in parenthood are still in conflict with their individual-oriented intrinsic and extrinsic work values. Male workers' beliefs in parenthood may strengthen their work values. The stability of work values suggested that value analysis is useful for college students' career counseling.
