A Twenty-First Century Assessment of Values Across the Global Workforce

“…The World Values Survey societal-level cultural values are derived from general population surveys in 97 countries (Inglehart 1997) and have been used to study societal attitudes related to modernization and democratization (e.g., Inglehart andWelzel 2005, 2010) and cross-national differences in personal moral philosophy (Forsyth et al 2008).
