Intrinsic and Extrinsic Work Values and Career Maturity of 9th‐ and 11th‐Grade Boys and Girls

Abstract

Sex differences in work values and career maturity were found to a greater extent than were grade differences among 9th‐ and 11th‐grade students. Implications for counselors are discussed.

Stability and change in values: A meta-analysis of longitudinal studies

“…Consistent with the biological and psychological maturation process, during the adolescence and early adulthood period when people are mainly undergoing education and training process, there should be a normative value change toward expanding the self and gaining more information. For example, Post-Kammer (1987) reported that 11 th -grade students reported valuing intrinsic work values to a greater extent than did the 9 th -grade students. Sheldon (Sheldon et al, 2003;Sheldon & Kasser, 2001;Sheldon, 2005) has studied value changes in adolescence and early adulthood, finding that liberal environment and opportunity for sophisticated thinking in college is not supportive of materialistic and extrinsic values but promotes the development of intrinsic values.…”

Thus, based on the literature reviewed, extrinsic factors represent personal objective components, in terms of payment, benefits, promotion, occupational status, respect and recognition by the organization, can lead directly to an individual's career success (O'Reilly & Caldwell, 1980).…”

Le travail des adolescents : porte d’entrée ou cul-de-sac ?

“…7, n° 1, 1994 résolument instrumentale : le travail futur servira en premier lieu à gagner de l'argent (Csikszentmihalyi et Larson, 1984;Hladlum, 1990). Cette valorisation des aspects avant tout financiers du travail serait plus courante chez les garçons, alors que chez les filles, le sentiment d'accomplissement personnel serait plus important (Mannheim et Seger, 1993;Nevill et Perotta, 1985 ;Post-Kammer, 1987). …”
