“…It is easy to assume that both accomplishment and power and authority work values would be higher for males than for their female counterparts. These results agreed with the results of past studies (Croson & Gneezy, 2009;De Pater, Van Vianen, Fischer, & Van Ginkel, 2009;Dirilen-Gumus & Buyuksahin-Sunal, 2012;Jansz, Avis, & Vosmeer, 2010;Vacha-Haase et al, 1994). In contrast, we might not expect that males would have higher levels of contribution values than females.…”

Work values have received a significant amount of attention from organizational researchers. This study performed an exploratory factor analysis of data collected from working persons living in the Tokyo metropolitan area. It identified four basic work values: accomplishment, contribution, power and authority, and monetary rewards. This study also examined the effects of gender, marital status, and generation on work values. The results revealed that males had higher levels of work values than females, except for monetary rewards. Married persons demonstrated higher levels of work values than unmarried persons did. Age exerted complicated effects on each work value. This study proposes some implications for practical applications of the results for human resource management and provides suggestions for future research.

“…15,16 As per socio-demographic variables, there seems to be an effect of age on values, with younger nursing students to value more affective and social relationships 15,17 compared to older students 15 or older nurses. 17 While gender has proved itself to have an effect on values in adults 18 or students 19 in general, with women giving more value to Benevolence, Universalism, and Security and men to Stimulation, Power, Hedonism, Self-direction, and Achievement values, it has never been studied in the nursing student population.…”

Background: Personal values influence nursing students’ development of professional values, which affect professional outcomes, and how nursing students react to different situations. Personal values can be shaped by different factors, including culture, gender, and age. Aims: To explore personal values held by nursing students, and to verify if and how gender and year of study affect nursing students’ personal values. Research design: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was used. Participants and research context: The whole population of nursing undergraduate students available at the time was recruited from eight centers of two Universities, composing a sample of 947 students. Demographic data were collected and it was administered the Portrait Values Questionnaire. Ethical considerations: Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Boards of the University of the participating centers. Findings: The study sample was mainly composed of young (92.6%, n = 877), female (77.3%, n = 732), Italian (95.8%, n = 907), and unmarried (98.6%, n = 934) nursing students. The most important value for nursing students, consistently through the years of nursing school, was Self-transcendence, which has the motivational emphasis on helping others and selflessness. Then, we found that male students had higher levels of Power (p < 0.001) and Achievement (p = 0.031), while female students outscored male students in Benevolence (p = 0.005) and Security (p = 0.006). Year of study showed no statistically significant difference. Discussion: Nursing students express high levels in hetero-directed values. Male nursing students, although they choose a stereotypically feminine profession, outscored females in stereotypical masculine values such as dominance and success. This is the first study that describes the personal value profile of undergraduate nursing students, according to the Theory of Basic Human Values, and it is a starting point for future research. Conclusion: Nursing educators might want to consider the findings from this study while guiding students in developing awareness for their personal values.

“…Karakitapoğlu-Aygün and İmamoğlu (2002) state that the value of self-transcendence, which includes the values of universalism and benevolence that emphasize the welfare of others and the nature, is an important value for the Turks. This condition is reported to be associated especially with the increase of educational level (Dirilen-Gumus & Buyuksahin-Sunal, 2012;Karakitapoğlu-Aygün & İmamoglu, 2002). In the study conducted by Başaran (1992) with students from eight universities in Ankara using Rokeach Value Survey, students had the highest scores from the values of freedom, world peace, equality, self-esteem, and inner harmony.…”

“…In his Theory of Values, Schwartz (2012) states that values are cognitive reflections of three universal needs that exist innately in every individual according to their content and structure. He defines these needs as basic needs of individuals (like stimulation) as biological organism, needs (like benevolence) required by successful interpersonal interaction, and needs (like adaptation) required by groups and communities to survive (Dirilen-Gumus & Buyuksahin-Sunal, 2012;Schwartz, 2012). Considering the three universal needs, Schwartz defines ten value types that contain values in similar or different motivational infrastructure and show an interrelated continuity within a dynamic structure on a circular array (Schwartz, 2012) (Table 1).…”

This study aimed to determine the correlation between values and social innovation tendencies of nursing and medical students and examine the effect of values on social innovation tendencies. Method: This descriptive and correlational study consisted of 524 third-year students at nursing and medical faculties in a public university in Istanbul (response rate of 57.1%). The data of the study were collected using the information form, Portrait Values Questionnaire, and Social Innovation Scale. The data were collected between December 2015 and May 2016. The data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational analyses, and the factors affecting the score of social innovation were analyzed using linear regression analysis (backward). Results: A positive significant correlation was determined between the total scores of Portrait Values Questionnaire and Social Innovation Scale (r=0.453). The subscale mean scores of Portrait Values Questionnaire had an effect of 26.6% in total score of Social Innovation Scale. In the regression model where significance was determined (F=37.566; p<0.01), the highest effect was observed in the subscale of universalism. Conclusion:The value of universalism affected the social innovation for both groups at the most, which is an expected result by the nature of these occupations. The value of openness to innovation including self-direction and stimulation in medical students had a significant effect on the total score of social innovation, which is compatible with innovative behavior literature. These results are expected to guide educators and managers in developing socially innovative behaviors.
