Abstract: | The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between vocational interests and work values among 206 adults
in Taiwan. The instruments were the Career Interest Inventory developed based on Holland’s RIASEC typology and the Work Value
Inventory developed based on Super’s theory. The results of multivariate analysis of variance indicated significant gender
differences in overall vocational interests and overall work values. In addition, the gender differences were found in three
vocational interests (Realistic, Artistic, and Social) and three types of work value (Achievement, Economic Return, and Way
of life). The results of canonical correlation analyses showed similar, but not exactly the same, patterns in correlation
of interests and values between men and women. These results were discussed in terms of their implications for research and
practice. |
