“…13,35 First, this seems typical of Millennials (people born between 1981 and 1996), mainly represented in our cohort of students at the time of data collection, who—also in other studies—valued more Benevolence, Self-direction, Hedonism, and Universalism. 31 However, in previous studies, Self-enhancement values (Power and Achievement) were inversely correlated with age 36 showing that these findings might be peculiar of nursing students who exhibit a pattern different from the general population, as suggested by previous studies. 17 Second, it seems that Self-enhancement values are linked with authoritative leadership, 37 and people who express Self-enhancement seem to have low interpersonal relationships and low performance.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that addressed this issue using the theory of basic human values, which has been used extensively in different professional cohorts and countries, allowing international and inter-professional comparisons. 28,31 –34 We found that the most important value for nursing students, consistently through the years of nursing school, is Self-transcendence, which focuses on helping others and selflessness. Furthermore, we found that male and female students had significant differences in their higher ranked values.…”

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.

“…Based on the fact that Industry 4.0 is focused on teamwork, openness and mutual understanding, we can talk about the greater favor of the new business environment to millennials. At the same time, the personal orientations of the new generation can cause changes in the future business environment that will reflect more progressive beliefs and attitudes [6].…”

This study combines two main challenges for organizations today, as it examines the alignment between personal values of future leaders and the values needed in the Industry 4.0 workplace. Based on the movement of the organizational environment toward a more multidisciplinary, open, collaborative and multicultural environment, we presuppose that the Industry 4.0 workplace requires a more benevolent, universally oriented and generally self-transcended leaders. Drawing upon Schwartz’s value theory, we examine the impact of Generations Y and Z’s personal values on their leadership inclination. The results from the survey of 371 young participants from Generations Y and Z reveal that self-enhancement (i.e., power and achievement), openness to change and conservation values most significantly affect leadership inclination. Meanwhile, benevolence, universalism and general self-transcendence values—cornerstones of the Industry 4.0 workplace—show negative effects on leadership inclination in the frame of the Industry 4.0 workplace. This indicates a poor fit between the values of future leaders and the values of the Industry 4.0 workplace. These findings have significant implications for human resource management in future organizations and contribute to the understanding of future leaders. In addition, the findings can help organizations to manage sustainable workings in an Industry 4.0 environment.
