Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate whether there has been a change in the hierarchy and the importance of work values of students of the University of Zagreb in the period 1998. -­ 2010. Within this framework, we have tried to answer the following problems: to examine the hierarchy and importance of work values of students, and compare it to the hierarchy and importance of work values obtained in 1998. The study was conducted on a convenient sample of participants from 11 study groups of the University of Zagreb: psychology, social work, agriculture, veterinary medicine, medicine, construction, architecture, law, engineering, biology and kinesiology. Participants were students of the third and fourth year, a total of 634 participants of which 38% males and 62% females. Testing was carried out with V­questionnaire of work values designed as a part of international WIS project. The results indicate that there is no change in hierarchy of work values of students, but there is a noticeable increase of importance of certain values and groups of values. There is a significant increase of the values of utilitarian and adventure orientation, and to a smaller extent of the values of self­-actualization orientation.
