Abstract

ObjectiveThe present study investigated personal values underlying career‐related preferences among young adults deliberating on their career choice. As a fundamental component of one's identity, personal values can offer valuable insights into how individuals prioritize their career‐related preferences.MethodWe employed two complementary approaches: variable‐centered and person‐centered, using a sample of 636 young adults (69.5% women; Mage = 21.9, SD = 2.12).ResultsUsing a variable‐centered approach, we identified 14 value‐expressive career‐related preferences, demonstrating that individuals are less willing to compromise on these preferences than on non value‐expressive preferences. Using a person‐centered approach, we applied latent profile analysis to identify four groups of young adults with distinct value profiles: (1) growth‐focus (n = 212; 33.3%), (2) protection‐focus (n = 206; 32.4%), (3) self‐focus (n = 122; 19.2%), and (4) social‐focus (n = 96; 15.1%). Importantly, the four profiles varied in 18 of 31 career‐related preferences, revealing the composition of values underlying these career preferences. Fourteen of these preferences were identified as value‐expressive in a variable‐centered approach.ConclusionThe two complementary approaches employed in the present study introduce a fine‐grained understanding of the value‐expressiveness of career‐related preferences.

年轻人的个人价值观和职业相关偏好

本研究调查了正在考虑职业选择的年轻成年人在职业相关偏好中蕴含的个人价值观。方法我们采用了两种互补的方法：以变量为中心的方法和以人为中心的方法，样本为 636 名青壮年（69.5% 为女性；年龄 = 21.9，SD = 2.12）。结果采用以变量为中心的方法，我们确定了 14 种与职业相关的价值表现偏好，表明与非价值表现偏好相比，个人更不愿意在这些偏好上妥协。通过以人为中心的方法，我们运用潜在特征分析确定了四组具有不同价值特征的年轻人：(1) 关注成长（n = 212；33.3%），(2) 关注保护（n = 206；32.4%），(3) 关注自我（n = 122；19.2%），(4) 关注社交（n = 96；15.1%）。重要的是，在 31 种与职业相关的偏好中，有 18 种偏好的四种特征各不相同，这揭示了这些职业偏好背后的价值观构成。结论本研究中采用的两种互补方法对与职业相关的偏好的价值表现性有了细致的了解。
