Abstract

Relations between personal values, career attachments and organizational commitment were investigated. A sample of 209 workers, 116 men and 93 women, employed in diverse segments of the tertiary sector, answered measures of organizational commitment, career commitment and entrenchment, and Schwartz Value Inventory. Regression analysis revealed that individualist values were predictors of career commitment and collectivist values were predictors of organizational commitment. Power and tradition were positive predictors of career entrenchment and self-determination and benevolence were negative predictors. The data suggests that different foci and basis of individual-work attachments are associated with different axiological priorities.
