Work values in East and West Germany: different weights, but identical structures
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to ascertain if differences exist in terms of work values between East and West Germany. Results provided evidence to the commonly held notions that there are fundamental differences in the work values of East and West Germans. Through the use of multidimensional scaling, the research proved that the structures of work values are quite similar between the two Germanies. Both samples exhibited radex patterns, thereby supporting the ERG-dependency and the performance-dependency aspect in the same manner. ERG stands for existence, relatedness and growth needs.
