Chapter 32. Managerial Work-Values Scale
T. Venkateswara Rao
The term value has been defined as "the excellence or the degree of worth ascribed to an object. Though ascribed to the object and reacted to as if external or objective, value is a function of the valuing transaction, not of the object" (English & English, 1958). By this definition, work value means "the degree of worth ascribed to a particular type of work, activity, or aspect of the work." This definition of work value makes the term distinct from occupational (or job) preference, because it refers to the degree of worth that is ascribed to it. Whereas preference indicates a general attitude, value implies a stronger attitude or a positive evaluation.
