COMPONENT A WORK VALUES
BIG PICTURE
Week 2: Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO): At the end of the unit, you are better able to
understand your Work Values. Specifically, you are expected to:

a. Increase awareness of personal work values that will assist you in becoming
productive individual;

Big Picture in Focus: ULOa. Increase awareness of personal work

values that will assist you in becoming productive individual.

METALANGUAGE
In this section, the most essential terms relevant to work values and to demonstrate ULOa
will be operationally defined to establish a common frame of reference as to how awareness of
personal work values will assist you in becoming a productive professional.

ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
Work values are coherent with
one’s self-worth and human needs
(Susa (2018). This determines how
productive, satisfied, and fulfilled the
person is with their behavior, especially
in activities they put themselves into
(Graham & Abeysekera, 2019; Llenares,
2015). This values-system also
determines the likelihood that the
individual will pursue the dreams they
set for themselves.

Dr. Vincnetita Cervera identified various factors that can be considered as elements
contributing to the values system of Filipino population. These factors become the foundation of the
test instrument now known as Filipino Work Values Scale (FWVS).

Below are the Filipino Work Values identified:

Page 5 of 11
 Environmental Associated with work which is carried out under pleasant physical
conditions – not too hot nor too cold, noisy, dirty, crowded, not far from
where one lives.

Familial Related to the family – family cohesion, family unity, emotional closeness
and security in the family, firm loyalty to the family ties in activities,
family
– oriented achievement motivation, and respect for parents.
Intellectual- Associated with work which that provides opportunity for independent
Achievement thinking and for learning how and why things work, and gives one a
Oriented feeling of accomplishment in doing a job well.

Interpersonal Related to persons – “amor propio, hiya, utang na loob”, use of

intermediaries or go – between, the value of loyalty, hospitality,
pakikisama, emotional closeness, respect for authority.

Managerial Related to work which involves the coordination of human and material
resources in order to accomplish the objectives of a work organization.

Material Associated with work which enables one to gain prestige, security and
economic returns.

Occupational Related to the exercise of one’s occupation; subsumed in this are the
following: fairness, competence, altruisms, self –
regulation/occupational autonomy and public service.

Organizational Related to ones membership in the work organization – knowledge and

acceptance of organizational goals and willingness to help reach these
goals.

Religious Associated with work which enables one to exercise one’s faith or with
work which does not contradict one’s religious convictions.

Variety Associated with work that provides an opportunity to do different types

of job in contrast with routine work.

It should be noted that the strength

and weaknesses pertinent to a specific work
values do not necessarily mean that it is a
“weakness” or “strength” of potential. It only
determines what aspects of work, or activities
you find satisfactory, making you more
productive and fulfilled.

In a study conducted by Llaneres

(2015) involving work values and human

Page 6 of 11
resource management, it was found out that among the stipulated work values on FWVS,
Intellectual- achievement orientation is the most dominant one. This involves appraisal of
performance, training, and provision of independents and involvement with work or specific
activities. This means that one becomes industrious by being involved with the decisions made, and
being involved in clear and specific evaluation of performance, what to improve, and delivery of
specific avenue to improve one’s potentials.

Productivity and fulfilment are considered to be related with the value system that one
holds significant for themselves. Thus, to become a competent student or professional, an individual
must become aware of their own values system and ensure that their behavior, and attitude are
coherent with this values system (Susa, 2018).

Now that you’ve examined a number of values and rated them according to their

For the final step of this exercise, narrow your list of 10 values to your 5 highest priority values
– think of these core values as those that you absolutely would not be able to work without. List them
below in the space provided in order with 1 being your highest priority value:

1.Salary
2.Benefits
3. Safety
4.Recognition
5. Professional Growth

Congratulations! You now have a list of your core workplace values that represent
who you are and what you find most important about work. These core values will
very likely determine your level of satisfaction in your chosen career field.

As you look to the future and consider how you might use this information when choosing a major or
career path, use the following questions to guide your reflection and record your responses below:

1. How does each of these identified values guide you in your chosen course, career, and or
aspirations?

These enhanced my potential and ambitions. My ability to prioritize and highlight my true
desires for the future came from being able to identify my desired work values.

2. How do these identified work values evoke conflict with the work values expected and
needed to the course/ profession you are pursuing? What would you to do resolve
these conflicts?

This exercise let me understand that only some expected job values would be there and prioritized
how we would like to see our workplace or professional setting. Owing to the established work
principles, I have lower expectations and make the most of both my working environment and what
may or may not be offered. It also helps me to consider ahead of time what choices and solutions
I may use to settle disputes in the future.
