“…The current study findings are consistent with previous research that showed work values vary by job category i.e. nurses (Cooman et al, 2008) and IT professionals (Dinger, Thatcher, and Stepina, 2010). This article contributes to the current knowledge on work values by pinpointing the importance of understanding potential marketing professionals' work values in the two different cultures.…”

This paper aims to identify the ranking of importance of work values as perceived by marketing students, and to explore the underlying dimensions of work values in the Malaysian context. It also aims to determine whether there are differences of work values between marketing students in Malaysia and US. Previously validated Super's Work Values Inventory (SWVI) containing 15 dimensions was completed by business students undertaking Marketing and other majors in Malaysia and USA. Factor analysis is employed to examine the underlying structure of work values. The study confirms the two-factor structure (intrinsic and extrinsic) of work values and shows that marketing students value the work that allows them to fulfill their potential in terms of creativity (M = 4.23) and intellectual stimulation (M = 3.99) in Malaysia. Moreover, the results showed that significant differences in work values exist between Malaysia and US students with respect to economic return, way of life, altruism, prestige, management and variety. This article contributes to the worldwide knowledge on work values by highlighting the importance of understanding potential marketing professionals' work values in the two different countries. Respondents selected from two countries will limit the generalizability of the study.

“…For them, recognising that nursing offers security in a career choice provided them incentive to exert the effort needed to complete the course. This finding concurs with research showing that internal and external factors are important to an adult learner (Bye, Pushkar, & Conway, 2007;De Cooman et al, 2008;Miers, Rickaby, & Pollard, 2007;Sansone & Harackiewicz, 2000).…”

“…is rich (Gibson and Schwartz, 1998;Schwartz, 2012;Ueda and Ohzono, 2013), the literature indicates that there is a lack of knowledge and effective investigation about the relationship between personal values and "profession" variable. Indeed, the limited research which concerned this issue, considered personal values in terms of specific characteristics of the profession and did not compare the personal values in different professions (Dinger, Thatcher and Stepina, 2010;Chang, Choi, and Kim , 2008;Cooman et al, 2008;Hegney et al, 2006;Hagstrom and Kjellberg, 2007). Values are placed at the center of cultural differences (Hofstede, 1980), and cultural differences exist not only at national or organizational levels, but also at the professional level.…”

This study investigated the relationship between “profession” and personal values to explain the potential conflicts between various groups of construction stakeholders. In this study, personal values of three professional groups of project consultants including architects, engineers, and quantity surveyors were assessed through questionnaire survey in the Malaysian construction industry. Using comparative analysis, the personal value priorities and conflicts between these professional groups of stakeholders were identified. The research findings indicated dissimilar patterns of personal values which explain potential conflicts between the stakeholders with different professions in the Malaysian construction industry. Therefore, this research confirmed the predictor role of “profession” variable in explaining personal values although this relationship was an ambiguous issue in the extant literature. This research, through identifying the value priorities of different groups of construction stakeholders, provides better understanding of their different needs, expectations, and preferences which would help project managers to have better perception of the potential conflicts between these groups of construction stakeholders.

Abstract: When considering the new generation nurses, budget cuts and restructuring must be handled with prudence, due to the risk of crowding out the altruistic and interpersonal work features, which determine the specificity of the nursing job.
