| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between various work beliefs (e.g. work and leisure ethic, Marxist beliefs, work involvement) and various general human (terminal and instrumental) values (Rokeach Value Survey). Over two-hundred and fifty adults completed six questionnaires measuring work and social beliefs as well as human values. Product-moment correlations showed that work ethic and organizational beliefs were most clearly linked to both terminal and instrumental values. Overall it seemed that work beliefs related most closely to the instrumental rather than the terminal values. A world at peace, equality and pleasure were the terminal values most closely related to the various work beliefs while clean, imaginative, obedient and polite were the instrumental values most closely related to the work beliefs. These results are closely related to those of Fether (1984) who used an Australian student sample. Speculations concerning the relationship between values, work beliefs and economic development are made. |
