Work values: Development of a new three‐dimensional structure based on confirmatory smallest space analysis
对119,167名加拿大工人的工作价值观评分进行验证性最小空间分析，发现三维圆柱结构而非预期的二维结构，包含四种类型、成长导向和关注层次三个侧面，为工作价值观理论提供了更丰富的分类和更完整的相互关系图景。
Abstract We tested the psychological structure of the work values ratings of 119,167 Canadian workers using confirmatory smallest space analysis (SSA). Contrary to our hypotheses, the SSA did not support a two‐dimensional radex structure, but suggested a three‐dimensional cylindrex structure composed of three facets: (a) A modality facet comprised of four types of work values (cognitive, instrumental, social, and prestige) forming angular sectors of a circle; (b) a growth‐orientation facet with growth‐related work aspects located closest to the center of the circle and context‐related work aspects located in the peripheral ring; and (c) a level of focus facet that divided the overall cylindrical structure into three separate vertical levels (individual, job/organizational, and societal). The findings extend the theory of work values by providing a richer typology of work values and a more complete picture of the complex structure of their inter‐relations.
