Work Values and Occupational Choices
- Extrinsic Work Values: These relate to the physical setting and earning potential of a job, including salary, benefits, and work environment.
- Factors Beyond Salary: When choosing a career, personal interests, job satisfaction, work-life balance, career advancement opportunities, and company culture play significant roles.
Intrinsic Work Values
- Activities of Work: Specific interest in the tasks and activities involved in a job represents intrinsic work values, focusing on personal fulfillment and enjoyment of the work itself.
Job Satisfaction
- Finding Satisfaction: Most individuals require a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and alignment with their personal values in their work to achieve true job satisfaction.
Extrinsic vs. Intrinsic Values
- Non-Example of Extrinsic Values: Identifying elements that do not fall under extrinsic values is crucial; examples include internal drives like personal growth, creativity, or passion for the work rather than external rewards.
