AN ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERSONAL VALUES AND SATISFACTION WITH WORK

Brazilian Journal of Management, 2019

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between personal values and job satisfaction. For this, a multiple linear regression was made, whose independent variables were personal values and the dependent variable, job satisfaction. The data for this test were collected from the European Social Survey database (ESS, 2012) with a valid sample of 820 people (portugueses) who participated in a social survey which is applied annually in 20 European countries. From 4 assumptions made in the study, 3 were rejected, revealing that personal values and conservation of self-transcendence Don't have positive relation with job satisfaction, as well as the self-promotion of value does not have a negative and significant relation as suggested. The value of openness to change, however, showed a negative and significant relationship at 5%. The results suggested that personal values did not possess relevant explanatory power on job satisfaction, in this sample. Therefore, we suggest the inclusion of other variables in the model to provide better contribution to the literature about this theme, as well as for managers where they consider relevant employee satisfaction with their work.

Values, feelings, job satisfaction and well-being: the Turkish case

Management Decision, 2015

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationships between universal individual value priorities, feelings and global job satisfaction as well as satisfaction with life in Turkish context. The sub-research question is to learn the moderation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between values, experienced feelings and life satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach -Analytical type of research design was used, and the data were obtained from 390 respondents who are the employees of different organizations in three cities in Turkey. Four measurement devices (Schwartz's ten-item Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ), Brayfield-Rothe's overall job satisfaction (OJS), and Diener's Scale of positive and negative experience (SPANE) and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS)) were employed. Findings -It was understood that the participants are slightly to moderately satisfied both with their job tasks and with the evaluation of global satisfaction of their own lives. The values of self-direction, achievement, hedonism and conformity are positively and strongly linked to job satisfaction and overall satisfaction of life. The moderating effect of job satisfaction is partially confirmed. It was also understood that the priorities of Turkish citizens imply self-centered satisfaction and independency, but not risk taking. Positive affect does influence the magnitude of the association between job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Originality/value -This paper is able to demonstrate the nature of associations between value orientations, experienced feelings, job satisfaction and global life satisfaction in a collectivist culture. The contradictions between value priorities of Turkish citizens and the people of Western countries would be likely interesting for academicians and researchers.

The influence of organizational values on job satisfaction of employees

Human Systems Management, 2020

BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown different ways how managers can influence job satisfaction of employees, mostly in form of external factors. We found that there is little research regarding organizational values and their influence on job satisfaction of employees. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was therefore to identify if there is a statistically significant influence on job satisfaction from organizational values. METHODS: The article is based on a quantitative approach where we have performed a survey among employees in a selected sector. In the questionnaire we asked respondents to evaluate what kind of organizational values the organization they work for does promote, later we asked respondents to evaluate what influences their job satisfaction, and in the final part we have collected demographical data. RESULTS: The results show a weak, but still detectable, positive correlation between organizational values and job satisfaction of employees with regard to work itself. Additionally, we have found a positive correlation between organizational value innovation and satisfaction with working conditions. CONCLUSIONS: There is an influence of organizational values on job satisfaction of employees with regard to job satisfaction with work itself. This indicated that employees feel the influence of promoted organizational values and that it does influence their job satisfaction.

Relationship between values and workplace: an exploratory analysis

Facilities, 2011

Purpose -There exists limited research directly highlighting the relationship between value preference and its association with people's expectations from the workplace. Studying personal value preference is important because a substantial body of research indicates that a specific pattern of value orientations predicts world views, and, hence, it may predict behavior in the workplace. Based on the above-mentioned assumptions, the present study aims to explore the impact of value preferences on the meaning of workplace, across MBA-and non-MBA graduates and Indian and non-Indian graduates. It is proposed that value preferences will have a significant impact on meaning of workplace and values preferences are likely to differ across national culture. Design/methodology/approach -The paper draws on qualitative research, a pilot study and survey research design. Data were gathered from a sample of 312 graduates, consisting of 231 management students and 81 non-management students. Of these 245 are Indians and 67 non-Indians studying in India, the USA, and the UK. Findings -Results of exploratory factor analysis helped the authors to derive ten significant factors from the meaning of workplace scale and four factors from the values scale. Results of stepwise multiple regression analysis have shown significant positive impact of value preference on the choice of preferred workplace. More specifically, higher progressive orientation has been found to positively influence the intrapreneurship factor of meaning of workplace factor. Values of personal growth, self-fulfillment, and community development have explained a large amount of variances in work-life balance and physical ambience.

Values at Work: The Impact of Personal Values in Organisations

Applied Psychology, 2018

This paper reviews and integrates past research on personal values in work organizations, seeking to portray the role personal values play in shaping the choices and behavior of individuals in work settings. We start by addressing the role of values in the occupational choice people make. We then review research on the relationships of personal values to a variety of behaviors at work. We continue with discussing the multiple paths through which managers' values affect the organizations and its members. In the last section, we address the interplay between organizational levels, and discuss the congruency between personal and organizational values and its implications for organizations and their employees. Together, the research reviewed indicates how the broadness and stability of values make them an important predictor of behavior at various levels of the organization. We end by discussing directions for future research on values in organizations.

Organizational Values, Personal Values and Job Satisfaction and the Influence of These Constructs in the Workplace Engagement: An Analysis Framework Proposal for the Public Service

2021

The Workplace Engagement theme is still little studied, especially regarding research seeking the analysis of organizational micro behavior in public service. The main objective of this work was to propose a framework to assist in the analysis of workplace Engagement of public servers as an antecedent of the relationship between organizational values, personal values and job satisfaction. This study is justified by the guaranteed stability in the legislation issue, and by the cultural social matter involved, since the individual when approved in a public career contest, usually remains in the same institution until retirement. So, it is legitimate, and even ethical, seek to analyze this relationship. The proposal was supported by a national and international literature review. Finally, it is expected that the resulting model is able to predict workplace engagement of Brazilian civil servers and collaborate to the diagnosis and analysis of organizational micro behavior.
