“…These results are inline with previous research which indicates that males ask for more influence and authority and opportunity to be creative while females prefer higher level of independence and privacy (Bayrkova, 2015;Ryckman, & Houston, 2003;Martin & Osterling, 2014, Chen & Kao, 2012Lyons, Higgins, & Duxbury, 2010;Hagström & Kjellberg, 2007). However, Jordanian culture is a masculine one, and may affect our results and influence males to value jobs that have higher financial rewards as females are not expected to provide financial help to the family, like the western culture, but males are.…”

The aim of the study was to explore the work values of Jordanian fresh graduates as well as the effect of gender on values preferences. 1109 fresh university graduates participated in the study (720 females-64.9%, and 389 males). Participants completed a scale that assesses the level of importance of 10 work values. The results indicated that fresh graduates value jobs that provide them with career development, financial rewards, creativity, job security, teamwork, and opportunity to serve others while the least important values were for jobs that provide independence, prestige and excitement. Additionally, the results indicated that there are gender differences in work values preferences. The current study is providing helpful information for job counselors and career succession planners.

“…Despite these considerations, Hagstom & Kjellberg [15] found that both men and women in nursing put altruism first but men had higher scores at graduation for extrinsic factors. Over the first four years of work women nurses increased their value on extrinsic factors such as benefits and career and influence resulting in no gender differences.…”

Background: Men are a growing minority in nursing. A deeper understanding of their motivation, career paths, and job satisfaction is needed to target recruitment and retention efforts. Currently the largest male cohort entering nursing is by second career. This study examines if job satisfaction differs for men who choose nursing as their first choice of career, as a convenience after exploring other options, or as a second career.Methods: This mixed-method study examined the relationship between men entering nursing by choice, convenience or second career and their resultant job satisfaction. A convenience sample of 238 men answered an online survey. Entry path, current practice position, and future career plans in five years was by self report. Job satisfaction was measured using Lester's instrument.Results: Second career men were significantly more likely to work in specialty practice and more likely to aspire to advanced practice than those entering by choice or convenience early in their careers. No significant differences in job satisfaction were found between entry paths. Conclusions:These data raise provocative issues relating to recruiting men and the impact of men on the profession of nursing. Despite the steady but slow growth in the percent of men in nursing, its image remains overwhelmingly female. This survey does not identify substantial differences in job satisfaction between men who enter through different career paths or substantial differences with other studies of male and female nurses.

“…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.
