Contrary to those of adults and adolescents, children’s value structures and value preferences have rarely been investigated. This paper bridges this gap by building on Schwartz’s (1992 ) value theory. We present two studies: one in which children from Germany, Portugal, and Chile, aged 10 to 12 years, completed the Portrait Values Questionnaire ( Schwartz et al., 2001 ); and one in which children from Germany and France, aged 7 to 12 years, completed the Picture-Based Value Survey for Children ( Döring, Blauensteiner, Aryus, Drögekamp, & Bilsky, 2010 ). Theory-based multidimensional scaling analyses revealed differentiated value structures in both studies. Findings on children’s value preferences converged with evidence from adult samples ( Schwartz & Bardi, 2001 ). The results are discussed in light of the present state of knowledge and consequences for future research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the integration of indigenous values developed in Turkey to Schwartz’s universal values. Students (N = 593) from six universities in Istanbul responded the value scale, which consists of 10 etic PVQ items (each item representing one of 10 main Schwartz values) and 23 emic WAG items (representing work-achievement goals). PROXSCAL, a multidimensional scaling method, was used to test whether etic and emic sets of values integrate and form the universal circular structure proposed in Schwartz value theory. The motivational continuum of values as a circular structure was similar to pan-cultural results, but adding another value type to the openness to change pole. While some of the items in this region represent autonomy of thought, remaining items diverge. The principle of conflicting values on opposite poles was not supported in relation to openness to change-conservation dimension. These two poles had similar priorities, contrasting with pan-cultural results, and demonstrating a culture-specific aspect of responding to motivational goals. Insights gained by emic studies will be functional in enriching understanding values, and contributing to the comprehensiveness and universality of Schwartz value theory.

Research with adult subjects has provided evidence for the validity of Schwartz’ (1992) theory on the structure of values. However, information about children and adolescents is scarce. Using the Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ-29) to test the applicability of Schwartz’ values theory to this population, a sample of 1555 German subjects aged 10 to 17 was investigated. Value structure was analyzed for the whole sample and for different age groups. Results broadly confirm the validity of Schwartz’ theory. They do not show the hypothesized correspondence between age and structural complexity, as operationalized by the number of distinct value types. Rather, the value structure of 10 to 12 year olds is nearly as differentiated as that of 15 to 17 year olds.

We reply to each of the issues raised by Schwartz in a commentary on our article on a comparison of value taxonomies. We discuss two approaches, mentioned in that commentary, the lexical approach and the theory-driven approach, especially with respect to their capacities in covering the domain of values and with respect to the representation of important values in a useful structure. We refute the critique by Schwartz that the lexical approach is superfluous, because his theory “toward universals in values” would already cover all values, and that their mutual relationships are relevant to individuals around the globe. We explain the necessity and strength of the lexical approach in taxonomizing the value domain, both within and across languages. Furthermore, we argue that principal components analysis (PCA) and simultaneous component analysis (SCA) are most adequate in arriving at a satisfactory structuring of the great many values in terms of both underlying constructs and their facets. We point to a misrepresentation in Schwartz’s circular model, and we review some misunderstandings on the side of Schwartz with respect to our results in comparison with those proceeding from his circular model.

Integration of Schwartz's value theory and Scheler's concept of value in research on the development of the structure of values during adolescence A proposal is presented in the article of integrating Schwartz's circular model of values (1992, 1994, 2006) with Scheler's concept of values (Brzozowski, 1995). The main research goals were: 1) empirical verification of the attempt to include the values of Scheler into the circle of Schwartz's values; 2) use of the concept and measurement of Scheler's values to describe the development of the value structure during adolescence. Two studies were conducted in a group of 988 persons aged from 15 to 20 years. The Scheler Value Scale of Brzozowski (1995) was used along with the new version of the Schwartz's Portrait Value Questionnaire (Schwartz et al., 2011). In the first study, multidimensional scaling of multitrait-multimathod (MTMM) matrix was carried out, into which were introduced the indexes of Scheler's values and the indexes of Schwartz's value types. In this way, it was demonstrated that it is possible to include Scheler's values in the four higher order values within Schwartz's circle of values. In the second study, it was shown that by using the Schelerian values to analyse the development of the value structure, similar results were obtained to those that were acquired with the aid of instruments intended to measure values in Schwartz's approach. The structure becomes differentiated with age and takes on the shape of a circle.

In a recent article, De Raad and colleagues extended their lexical studies of the value vocabularies of single countries. They sought to attain both optimal coverage of the culturally unique values in three different countries and to find the structuring of the value domain that these countries share. The authors largely frame their lexical approach by contrast with the theory-driven approach of Schwartz. They point to presumed problems with the theory-driven approach that the lexical approach might overcome. I discuss and largely dismiss these problems. Moreover, I point to links between the authors’ findings and the Schwartz theory of possible universals in the content and structure of values. I also assess the authors’ success in reaching some of their own goals and suggest future steps that it would be worthwhile for them to undertake.

Full textAbstract:
Schwartz recently proposed a new theory concerning the universal content and structure of values, a new value survey for measuring them and reported empirical support from 35 countries for many elements of the theory. In this article the validity of the theory is examined in two studies of diverse groups not previously tested using multiple value measurement instruments. In Study 1, 1364 subjects from the four major racial groupings completed the Rokeach Value Survey, a widely used values scale applicable to the theory, as part of a doctoral research project not previously analysed in this way. Study 2 subjects completed the new Schwartz Value Survey as part of a study of consumption patterns, media use, and leisure preferences of skilled labour, administrative and managerial staff commissioned by the Midrand Town Council. The results of both studies are consistent with the new theory and suggest important implications regarding value meaning in South Africa. The authors close by suggesting directions for future southern African values research.

The present, exploratory, study aims to investigate the social values of juvenile delinquents under the light of the social values theory proposed by S. Schwartz. Its main objectives are: First, to examine the structure of social values of juvenile delinquents. Second, to highlight possible relations between social values priorities and a number of demographic variables such as gender, educational level and type of crime. For this reason juvenile delinquents (N = 130) which are under probation completed a self-reported questionnaire composed of the Social Values Survey (SVS, Schwartz, 1992) and a form of demographic data. Smallest space analysis revealed 10 distinct value types, equivalent to those proposed by Schwartz’s model. Value types of benevolence, hedonism and self-direction were found to be of highest priority, whereas value types such as power and tradition were found to be the less guiding principles in our participants’ lives. Statistically significant differences were detected with respect to gender and not with respect to educational level and type of crime. In every case the prioritization of value types was the same. This particular finding taken together with relative findings regarding social values in Greece pinpoints that juvenile delinquents share common values and value priorities with non delinquents of similar age.

The theory of human values discriminated 10 basic values arrayed in a quasicircular structure. Analyses with several instruments in numerous samples supported this structure. The refined theory of human values discriminates 19 values in the same circle. Its support depends on one instrument, the revised Portrait Values Questionnaire. We introduce a forced choice method, the Best–Worst Refined Values scale (BWVr), to assess the robustness of the refined theory to method of measurement and also assess the distinctiveness and validity of a new animal welfare value. Three studies ( N = 784, 439, and 383) support the theory and the new value. Study 3 also demonstrates the convergent and discriminant validity of the 19 values by comparing the BWVr, the revised Portrait Values Questionnaire, and value-expressive behaviors and confirms the test–retest reliability of BWVr responses. These studies provide further information about the order of values in the value circle.

Full textAbstract:
High concordance of value priorities and actual behaviour implies the importance of studying values, especially on teachers as important agents of socialization. The theoretical framework comprises Schwartz theory of individual values, a taxonomy of values which embraces ten value types with different motivational goals. We applied a questionnaire in the form of five-point Likert-scale with a com?prehensive list of values on the sample of 163 students, future teachers. The value hierarchy was defined as the set of the most important and less important values. For data analysis we used: descriptive statistics, paired-samples t-test; frequencies of ranks; and principal component analysis. We compared the value hierarchy of our student sample with the results obtained for the samples of students, teachers and representative samples in the cross-national study conducted by Schwartz and his associates. Generally speaking, our research results are in concordance with the results of the cross-cultural study, suggesting that the most important values can be found among the value types benevolence, universalism and self-direction, while less important values belong to the types stimulation, power and tradition. The main difference from the international study results is found in the treatment of the value type tradition, placed at the bottom of the hierarchy by our sample of students.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore perceived importance of cultural values and affective components in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and their relationships. This study identified which of the nine affective components of global competence and four higher order cultural values were perceived to be important in the MENA region. It also examined the correlations between cultural values and affective components and whether significant differences existed based on gender, age, and country of citizenship.
This research involved the combination of Wallenberg-Lerner’s Affective Component Questionnaire (ACQ) and Schwartz’s Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ). In conjunction with a demographic information form, the Affective Component Value Questionnaire (ACVQ) was developed. A panel of experts assisted in establishing the validity of the instrument.
All nine affective components were perceived to be important in this global era. Self-assurance, Tolerance for Ambiguity, and Connectedness were perceived to be the most important affective components of global competence, while the cultural value of Self-transcendence was recognized as the most important. Several positive correlations existed between three cultural values and eight affective components. The cultural value of Self-transcendence had the highest number of positive correlations with the seven affective components. Self-enhancement did not reveal any correlations.
Analysis of variance was conducted to determine the differences in perceptions based on age, gender, and country of citizenship. No significant differences were present in the perceptions of the affective components and the cultural values based on gender. Perceptions by age were similar for the affective components, but differed for the cultural values. MENA citizens between the ages of 18-25 years more highly regarded the cultural value of Openness to Change and the 46 years and older age group more highly regarded Conservation than the other groups. Perceptions by country of citizenship differed for the affective components, but were similar for the cultural values. Lebanon more highly regarded the affective components, of Adaptability and Empathy. Morocco more highly regarded Connectedness while Tunisia more highly regarded Curiosity.
The findings of this research could have a global benefit of raising the awareness and the integration of the MENA’s perceptions of global competencies into the areas of education, research, policy initiatives, and the private sector.

Full textAbstract:
I denna studie presenteras forskning om 90-talisters attityder till ekologisk hållbarkonsumtion. Studien är skriven utifrån ett kvalitativt angreppssätt där datainsamlingen har skett genom två fokusgrupper, en med män och en med kvinnor. Syftet är att undersöka 90-talisters attityd till ekologisk hållbar konsumtion och besvaras genom tre frågeställningar. De två första frågeställningarna berör motiv och ansvar för ekologisk hållbar konsumtion och den tredje är en jämförelse mellan kön. Analysen grundar sig i ett teoretiskt ramverk med Schwartz grundläggande värderingar och Locus of Control. Studiens resultat visar att 90-talisters attityder till ekologisk hållbar konsumtion i allmänhet är positiv och komplex. De värderingar som framkom i diskussionerna tar uttryck i motiv som pris, smak, hälsa och omvärldsrelaterade motiv. Attityder till vem som har ansvaret till att utveckla en ekologisk hållbar konsumtion skiljer sig mellan individerna men de är överens om att situationen är komplex och svår att reda ut. Några av deltagarna vill att staten eller företagen ska ta tag i problemet medan andra anser att de själva som individer har ett stort ansvar. Vissa attityder och värderingar skiljer sig mellan männen och kvinnorna, men i bådagrupperna finns olika argument och det går inte att dra direkta slutsatser mellan könen. Gemensamt för båda grupperna är att de själva anser att de saknar kunskap om vad ekologiskhållbar konsumtion innebär. Denna studie bidrar med en viss förståelse för hur 90-talister ser på ekologisk hållbarkonsumtion och vad de anser krävs för att utveckla en hållbar konsumtion. För att få ett mergeneraliserbart resultat skulle en kvantitativ studie rekommenderas till framtida forskning.This study presents research on 90's generation’s attitudes to organic sustainable consumption. The study is written from a qualitative approach where data has been collected through two focus groups, one with men and one with women. The purpose is to examine the attitude of the 90’s generation to organic sustainable consumption and will be answered by three questions. The two first questions concerns the motivation and responsibility for organic sustainable consumption and the third is a comparison between gender. Analyzes are based on a theoretical framework with Schwartz Theory of Basic Values and Locus of Control. The results of the study shows that the attitudes to organic sustainable consumption are generally positive and complex. The values that emerged in the discussions expresses motives such as price, taste, health and environmental motives. Attitudes toward who is responsible to develop an organic sustainable consumption differs between the respondents, however they understand that the situation is complex and difficult to solve. Some of the participants believes the state or companies should deal with the problem, while some believe it is themselves as individuals who has the responsibility. Some attitudes and values differ between men and women, but there are different arguments in both groups and direct conclusions cannot be drawn between the genders. Both groups believe they have a lack of knowledge about what organic sustainable consumption means. This study contributes to a certain understanding of the 90’s generation view on sustainable consumption and what they consider necessary to develop a sustainable consumption. In order to achieve a more generalizable result, a quantitative study would be recommended for future research. This study is written in swedish.

Shalom Schwartz invented the theory of Basic Human Values in 1987 – based on a study in which the quantitative data he collected, had been organised within an obscure manner. His theory has been validated and positioned as the universal way all individuals organise their values on a personal and cultural level, and has been researched in over 70 countries. South African researchers have however found significant challenges in replicating Schwartz's model within this multi-cultural society, and have ascribed the difficulties to ‘unintended item biases' within Schwartz's measurement instruments. This has been observed when utilising two different measurement instruments, as well as when further assessing ‘finer' sub-value types. A viable quantitative trend in utilising non-verbal assessment techniques has emerged, but has not been adapted for adults yet. In addition, Schwartz's theory has largely only been explored from a quantitative perspective, since its inception in 1987. Only four qualitative studies could be traced within Values-research which all highlighted a different way values were constructed and ordered, through utilising psycho-lexical research methodology. This type of research methodology does not necessarily highlight the effect of socio-economic and educational disparities within its participant's constructions, which Schwartz' highlighted a possible effect within South African research efforts. This study utilised a Social Constructionist approach known as Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to assist in deconstructing the ecology of values-talk from South African participants' linguistic expressions. Four focus group discussions were conducted across four different racial groups (White; Black; Indian and Coloured), as a means for unlocking the different discourses which govern the different ways in which South Africans ‘talk' about personal values. The analysis uncovered five different discourses which were activated and replicated throughout discussions – when constructing values which embraced participants socio-economic and educational positions. These discourses seemed to function in a complimentary and opposing nature at times, depending on the value being discussed. These constructions were compared to Schwartz's Basic Human Values model, and similarities and differences in constructions were discussed. In addition, the research findings were scrutinised to see how they could inform future qualitative research efforts to further explore how Schwartz's Basic Human Values model is ‘lived'. Finally, the study discusses its limitations and various considerations researchers would need to employ, when considering applying non-verbal assessment methodology within an abstract topic like values.Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2017.

ABSTRACT The main objective of the present dissertation was comparing the theories of Schwartz (Universal Theory of Human Values) and Gouveia (Functionalist Theory of Human Values), in function of their hypotheses of content and structure and predictive power. Two empirical studies were designed. The first study aimed to test the hypotheses of content (adequacy of the number of motivational types and subfunctions) and structure (spatial organization of values) of the two models. Participants were 1173 peoples with an average age of 25.1 years (sd = 8.5), they responded the following measures: Basic Values Questionnaire (BVQ), Schwartz Values Survey (SVS) and demographic questions. The hypotheses of content and structure were supported in both models; only in the case of Schwartz model the configuration (structure) differed when the estimator Torgerson was employed in confirmatory multidimensional scaling. Futhermore, the postulated circumplex structure of Schwartz s model was not confirmed. Study 2 assessed the relationship between values and behavior, trying to gauge the predictive power of the two theories. Participants were 836 peoples with an average age of 22.4 years (sd = 7.31), they responded the following measures: BVQ, Portraits Values Questionary (PVQ 21), demographic questions, and two measures of behavior, one for to represent the motivational types of Schwartz and another covering the subfunctions of Gouveia. In general, the two models offered a moderate correlation between values and behavioral indicators. The model of Gouveia (0.47, sd = 0.14) presented average correlations higher than Schwartz s model (0.33, dp = 0.08) [t = - 2.59, p < 0.01]. In conclusion, both theories presented satisfactory results, justifying that are employed in the context of studies on the correlates of human values. However, the model of Gouveia showed something more appropriate, especially when you consider this to be more parsimonious. The limitations of the studies were discussed, indicating that future research may help to know to what extent these models are specific and / or complementary.
RESUMO A presente dissertação tem por objetivo principal comparar as teorias de valores de Schwartz (Teoria Universal dos Valores Humanos) e Gouveia (Teoria Funcionalista dos Valores Humanos), considerando suas hipóteses de conteúdo e estrutura e seu poder preditivo. Realizaram-se dois estudos empíricos. O Estudo 1 teve por objetivo testar as hipóteses de conteúdo (adequação do número de tipos motivacionais e subfunções) e estrutura (organização espacial dos valores) dos dois modelos. Participaram 1.173 pessoas com idade média de 25,1 anos (dp = 8,5), os quais responderam os seguintes instrumentos: Questionário dos Valores Básicos (QVB), Questionário de Valores de Schwartz (SVS) e perguntas demográficas. As hipóteses de conteúdo e estrutura foram corroboradas em ambos os modelos; unicamente no caso do modelo de Schwartz a configuração (estrutura) diferiu quando empregado o estimador Torgerson no escalonamento multidimensional confirmatório. Além disso, a estrutura circumplex que este modelo pressupõe não foi confirmada. O Estudo 2 avaliou a relação entre valores e comportamentos, buscando avaliar o poder preditivo das duas teorias. Participaram 836 pessoas com idade média de 22,4 anos (dp = 7,31), que responderam os seguintes instrumentos: QVB, Portraits Values Questionnaire (PVQ-21) e perguntas demográficas, ademais de duas medidas comportamentais, sendo uma para representar os tipos motivacionais de Schwartz e outro que cobria as subfunções de Gouveia. De modo geral, os dois modelos resultaram em correlações moderadas com os indicadores comportamentais, com o modelo de Gouveia apresentando correlação média (0,47, dp = 0,14) superior ao de Schwartz (0,33, dp = 0,08) [t = -2,59, p < 0,01]. Concluindo, ambas as teorias apresentaram resultados satisfatórios, justificando que sejam empregadas no contexto de estudos sobre os correlatos dos valores humanos. Entretanto, ressalta-se que o modelo de Gouveia se mostrado algo mais adequado, sobretudo quando se tem em conta ser este mais parcimonioso. Discutem-se as limitações dos estudos, indicando pesquisas futuras que poderão contribuir para conhecer em que medida tais modelos são específicos e/ou se complementam.

Full textAbstract:
Transparency within the supply chain has become a key priority for textile brands in response to the growing stakeholder concerns around social and environmental impacts of the textile value chain. Textile industry is extremely labour dependent and adds massively to the environmental degradation, adding on to this the highly complex and scattered global supply chain network makes it more difficult for brands to implement transparency in their supply base. Due to the low-cost labour in developing countries, the majority of the textile suppliers is located in South Asia, where the cultural values have been found to be in sharp contrast to the Global West. Many prior studies have also highlighted the lack of supplier’s top management support as the linking barrier to sustainable initiatives. Hence, this research was designed to investigate the behaviour and attitude of top management executives towards various transparency dimensions, i.e., Traceability, Sustainability conditions (Social and environmental) and Purchasing practices, in order to understand the underlying behavioural barriers. The semi-structured interview with 9 top management executives across India and Sri Lanka revealed three major themes: (a) Transparency as business imperative, (b) Distrustful relationship with brand and (c) Tendency to externalise responsibility. The Schwartz theory of cultural orientation was used to examine the role of cultural value in explaining the identified behaviour of top management executives.

Full textAbstract:
One of the cornerstones of the R system for statistical computing is the multitude of packages contributed by numerous package authors. This makes an extremely broad range of statistical techniques and other quantitative methods freely available. So far no empirical study has investigated psychological factors that drive authors to participate in the R project. This article presents a
study of R package authors, collecting data on different types of participation (number of packages, participation in mailing lists, participation in conferences), three psychological scales (types of motivation, psychological values, and work design characteristics), as well as various sociodemographic factors. The data are
analyzed using item response models and subsequent generalized linear models, showing that the most important determinants for participation are a hybrid form of motivation and the social characteristics of the work design. Other factors are found to have less impact or influence only specific aspects of participation. (authors' abstract)

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates how actor status, moral foundations theory and Schwartz values influence the moral judgments of guilt and punishment. I argue that to understand individual values consequences for actions, they must be considered within organizational values and larger institutional logics frameworks. Building off Zerubavel’s conception of a three level cognition (Zerubavel 1999), I argue for a tri level conception of values and morality in order to more fully understand how moral judgements work as well as the social context in which they are shaped. Using original research, I offer evidence of three levels of morality. First, I evaluate actor status on judgments of guilt and punishment. I then evaluate individual moral culture using Schwartz Values (Schwartz 2012; Vaisey and Miles 2014). I evaluate the impact of the organization on moral culture measure through the use of status hierarchies (Sauder, Lynn, and Podolny 2012). Finally, I evaluate broader cultural morality using Moral Foundations Theory (Graham et al. 2016; Kesebir and Haidt 2010). Taken together, these three levels of morality present a more ecologically valid understanding of the ways in which moral culture works from the individual, through the meso-social level and to the broader culture. I demonstrate the complex ways in which moral judgments are influenced by universal concerns, organizational influences and individual characteristics. I find that moral foundations theory conceptions of harm does not predict judgments of guilt and punishment but that Schwartz Values do influence these moral judgments. I also find that it is the actor status that most strongly predicts the outcomes of guilt and punishment. The research provides a foundation for future research of how actor status influences moral judgments of guilt and punishment beyond the limited moral community of the current study.

This study was intended to validate the structure of Schwartz human value theory by analyzing the secondary data of world values survey conducted in Taiwan on 2006. Secondary data analysis was adopted in this study. Totally 1227 valid samples had been extracted from 2006 world values survey database of Taiwan. The extracted data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way analysis of variance, confirmatory factor analysis and multidimensional scaling. Finding of this study are listed as follows: 1. The value attribute of Taiwanese society is contrary with Western society. 2. The value structure of Taiwanese is partially adapted with human value structure of Schwartz’s theory. 3. The value orientation of different gender, age and educational attainment of Taiwanese confirmed with the assumption of Schwartz’s theory. 4. The item reduced P.V.Q. value scale did not meet the conditions and standards of good test. According to the finding above, recommendations have made to the educator and researcher for further reference.

Bringing employees to a high level of education and keeping them there permanently is one of the core tasks of human resource development. In principle, the question is whether to entrust one's training needs to external providers or to realise this central task oneself. Many companies have reacted to the existing training and further education needs of their employees by founding their own academy. The opportunity to ensure the value of the "human capital" itself seems too important. Often, company-owned academies are only available to the company's own employees, but in some cases they are also open to external interested parties. As part of a cooperation between Academy Würth and the DHBW Heilbronn, students of the HR focus examined the possibilities of company education management. With contributions by Constanze Albrecht, Kim Celina Binder, Daniel Börner, Francis Fahnert, Kim Herbstritt, Hanna Hummel, Ilias Kassaras, Cassandra Klocek, Natascha Matkic, Anne Maurer, Angela Di Pinto, Katharina Rupp, Denise Schick,Stefan Schwartl, Roman Suhr and Anouk Walter.

The concept and measurement of values undergoes continued development and change. Yet several issues persist. Are people aware of their values, or are values unavailable to conscious awareness? Shouldvalues be measured directly because people can articulate them, or indirectly because people have no access to them? Can these views be reconciled? While tracing the development of values theory through the approaches of Allport and Vernon, Rokeach, and Schwartz, this chapter examines these and other questions that values researchers confront. Is there a comprehensive set of human values and how could one discover it? To what extent are people’s values organized into meaningful systems and on what bases? What different methods are there to measure values in adults and children? What assumptions do these methods make about the nature of values? What are the advantages and disadvantages of rating versus ranking techniques? What new directions is value measurement taking?

In this chapter, cross-cultural psychology is discussed in relation to the influence of ideology and culture on journalism. As a case study, a cross-cultural analysis of media systems is reported. One major finding is that in countries in which media have a strong public service mandate and public broadcasting systems, there is a better quality of news provision and a higher level of informed and engaged citizenry. Particular attention is given to the research of Hofstede, who has identified six major dimensions for cross-cultural analysis, and that of Schwartz (1992), who has identified value dimensions with universal meaning (e.g., security, happiness, and benevolence). Social identity theory is also considered, illustrated by the way in which the media may create and foster an ‘us’ versus ‘them’ mentality. In conclusion, the chapter affirms that there is no one nation which holds the gold standard for journalism and can be used as a reference point for all others.

Entrepreneurial intention as a psychological process has been investigated from several points of view which, although employing similar methodologies, have used different variables. Our aim here is to explain the reasons why some individuals tend more towards entrepreneurship than others. For these explanations we look towards Schwartz's Theory of Cultural Values. Schwarz structures cultural values in relation to three bipolar dimensions: conservation vs autonomy, hierarchy vs egalitarianism and mastery vs harmony. To analyse these variables, we applied the EOQ scale to a sample of 600 nascent entrepreneurs aged between 25 and 35, pertaining to different autonomous communities in Spain. After application and evaluation of the results, it can be concluded that there are significant differences in the personal, contextual and entrepreneurial intention variables as regards gender, parent's occupation(s) and autonomous community

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of prevalent management behavior on management attitudes about creativeness and innovativeness, while also considering the impact of personal values, in three Central European economies, having different development paths, namely Slovenia, Austria, and Poland. Personal values are measured using Schwartz value survey, using openness to change, conservation, self-transcendence and self-enhancement value dimensions. Results reveal that manager's behavior significantly influences on manager's attitudes regarding innovativeness, in all three countries. The impact of personal values on shaping management behavior and manager's attitudes toward innovativeness is significant only in few instances in Austrian sample, while in Slovenia and Poland it is insignificant. Regarding the mediating effect of managers' personal values on the association between management behavior and their creativeness, our results reveal marginal role of personal values.

Full textAbstract:
Value diversity causes people to give different answers to questions like “What information is most valuable to convey?” and “Who needs to know what?” I define values as do Shalom Schwartz and Wolfgang Bilsky (1987: 551). By values, they mean “(a) concepts or beliefs, (b) about desirable end states or behaviors, (c) that transcend specific situations, (d) guide selection or evaluation of behavior and events, and (e) are ordered by relative importance.” By value diversity, I refer to the different values that people have. This chapter is about how value diversity affects claims about what is worth knowing and, hence, an educator’s ability to get prospective learners and supporters to participate in an educational endeavor. Some critics and educators regard values as a nuisance— particularly the values of those with whom they disagree. These critics want people to teach a particular set of conclusions about a subject that matters to them. They often see others’ values as illegitimate and as getting in the way of a rational conversation about issues that they consider important. These claims manifest as advice for others to focus on “just the facts.” I will show that these critiques often reflect a misunderstanding of how values affect learning. I will also show how to overcome these misunderstandings in ways that enhance educators’ abilities to increase many kinds of knowledge and competence. . . . Here is a short summary of the chapter’s main conclusions: Values affect how people perceive and process information. Values drive individuals to embrace certain types of information and reject others. Values often have these effects before prospective learners are conscious of them, and they have these effects even if prospective learners have trouble describing them. . . . In other words, values affect the types of information prospective learners are willing to pay attention to and regard as credible. As attention and credibility are critical assets for educators to possess, and as political situations often include people with different values, educators who understand how values affect learning can make more effective choices about what information to convey.

In this chapter, the authors discuss the way culture has been scrutinized and debated in the social science literature especially in the fields of international business and economics. Following a series of classical “deep” descriptions of six focal countries, they explore the many classifications of culture that have emanated from quantitative dimensional analyses including the work of Hofstede, GLOBE, Schwartz, and others. They then turn our attention to eight value dimensions that have been linked specifically to economic performance, including social capital and cooperation, trust, redistributive justice, work centrality, risk-taking, individual achievement, education/training, and the importance of labor force attachment. In both their discussions of deep description and dimensional analyses, the authors point up how these emic (qualitative) and etic (quantitative) analyses have been used to classify Sweden, Germany, Italy, Spain, India, and the United States.

“Expansive Growth, Changing Times: 1950s–1970s” examines social work involvement in summer camps during the prosperous postwar years. With social group work achieving acceptance as a method within the profession, camps provided a venue for leading social workers to advance theories of group development, provide principles for staff training and supervision, advocate management standards, and offer insights into youth development. During this vibrant, exciting period, social workers including Olive Crocker, Jack R. Goldberg, Gisela Konopka, William Schwartz, and others contributed to the literature. Camps communicated progressive values supporting social justice, political activism, and racial integration. Their approach was sophisticated and intellectual. Vignettes based on interviews and other sources convey portraits of two renowned camps with social work leadership: Camp Minisink and Camp Wel-Met.

Culture predefines the framework of needs, beliefs, and norms in most decisions humans make in their lives. However, the impact of culture often tends to be neglected in the investigation into adaptation of mobile business technologies. This chapter aims to address that lacuna by highlighting cultural differences and their consequences for the diffusion of mobile technologies in business and society, as well as its acceptance in mobile direct marketing and mobile commerce. We achieve our objective in the following four steps: • Highlight the impact of culture on the adoption and acceptance of mobile technologies, • Introduce measures for the assessment of cultures by means of quantitative indices (e.g., Schwartz values, the Hofstede dimensions), • Correlat the assessment of culture with mobile activities in selected societies, and • Discuss implications for the introduction of innovative mobile commerce services.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing human interaction creates extra stress on individuals and organisations as well. The nature of such stress results in economic shocks and large societal and organisational traumas. Although recent social science is capable of addressing the complexity of international interplay such as culture, acts of multinational corporations or cross-cultural team management, little attention was paid on the cultural aspects of removing organisational trauma. Since the 1980s, social science has experienced lively development in cross-cultural studies via the work of Hofstede, the Globe Group, the World Value Survey initiative, Trompenaars, Schwartz and others. Although major models are sufficient for defining national culture, there is lack of work explaining the managerial implications for crisis management or mitigating trauma in organisations.The authors of this chapter intend to critically review the latest literature on national culture, while discussing the relevant models and introducing the theoretic framework applicable for crisis/ trauma management.

Full textAbstract:
"Gamete donation is a procedure that includes the “reproductive others” in the process of conception. There are numerous dilemmas related to donation while various European countries have different ways of solving them. In the Republic of Serbia, only voluntary gamete donation is allowed, and donors can only be women and men from the general population, or women included in the In vitro fertilization process. The donors remain anonymous to the child which was conceived with their help. Overcoming infertility in this way usually includes building public awareness, especially when it is not a common practice in that society, and work should be done on forming positive attitudes towards the donation. Experience from other countries indicates that sperm donation usually does not represent a problem, but there is greater demand for egg cells than the existing supply, which is an additional reason for studying attitudes and planning appropriate campaigns. In this study, the attitudes of university students (N = 503; 206 young men, 297 young women) towards gamete donation were analyzed, as were the differences in the extent of basic values about acceptance of the donation. We used several questions to determine the attitudes towards donations, including those specially designed for this research and the Schwartz Personal Values Questionnaire (Schwartz, 2002). University students are young people who represent not only potential donors but also the everyday environment of couples who require a donation. As highly educated individuals, they have the potential to be attitude holders. The results have shown generally positive attitudes of the students towards donation. The differences in certain basic values among the participants who support donation were obtained only for the sub-sample of young men: a more pronounced Openness to change and Self-transcendence. The authors present some specific ideas regarding the promotion of gamete donation in general – for example, we believe that in the supporting campaign for donation it would be more appropriate to use Self-transcendence than Openness to change."

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Precipitation kinetics were investigated in select Fe, Ni, and Al alloys using a CALPHAD based precipitation model based on Langer-Schwartz theory. Thermodynamic and kinetic data are taken from commercially available CALPHAD software, but reliable interfacial energy data for precipitates needed for the calculations is often lacking. While models exist to approximate these interfacial energies, this study has focused on deriving more reliable estimates by comparison with experimental data. By performing simulations with thermal histories, nucleation sites, and precipitate morphologies that closely replicate experimental data found in literature, the interfacial energies were optimized until volume fraction and mean radius values closely matched the published data. Using this technique, interfacial energy values have been determined for carbides in Grade 22 low alloy steels, delta phase in Ni 625 and 718, SPhase in Al 2024, and Q’ and β’’ in Al 6111, and can be used for future predictive precipitation simulations.

Full textAbstract:
NiTi has been shown to be of great interest for bone implant applications. Introducing porosity to NiTi bone implants is an effective technique to tune their equivalent modulus of elasticity in order to acquire similar value to that of cortical bone. Moreover, such porous implants allow for better tissue ingrowth due to the interconnecting open pore structure. The effect of porosity percentage on the NiTi equivalent modulus of elasticity is well understood. However, the effect of porosity type on NiTi bone implant’s performance, in terms of the geometrical structure and other mechanical properties, has not yet been investigated. To this end, we simulated three porous structures made of shape memory Ti-rich Ni50.09Ti alloy. The effect of porosity type on the NiTi implant’s geometrical structure and mechanical properties was studied using numerical tests. The purpose is to compare three NiTi implants with different kinds of porosities, at a similar level of porosity (i.e., 69 %). The assigned porosity types in this study are Schwartz-type, Gyroid-type, and Diamond-type. Three triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) models (9mm×9mm×9mm) with the assigned fixed level of porosity (69 %) were designed as CAD files using Solidworks. Each model was meshed, and the convergence study was conducted. The three models were then imported into a finite element package (ABAQUS). A UMAT code developed by IUT (Isfahan University of Technology) group was used to simulate the mechanical behavior of the shape memory NiTi alloy. All boundary conditions and loading conditions were applied to the models. Compressive mechanical tests were simulated in the finite element, and the resultant equivalent modulus of elasticity, elongations, stress, and strain was estimated. The results show anisotropic behavior within the three different porous structures. With the same level of porosity (i.e., 69 %), equivalent modulus of elasticity was observed to be 48.9, 34.8, and 30.2 GPa for Schwartz-type, Gyroid-type, and Diamond-type, respectively. Moreover, the Schwartz-type scaffold was seen to offer the highest stress at plateau start and the lowest residual strain after unloading, in comparison with the other two types of structure.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of generational differences has been a relevant topic in some social sciences for the last years. Happiness as a phenomenon has just recently become a focal point of psychologists. There has still been little research into determinants of happiness in different generations. In the research paper, the author explores the relationship between perceptions of happiness across generations and the values that accompany them. The study was carried out with the use of such methods as content-analysis, factor analysis, the technique of S. Schwartz, statistic methods. Main results: the main associations obtained for the stimulus word ‘happiness’ are highlighted and described; a comparison of the results from the factor analysis is given. The author comes to a generalised conclusion regarding the important difference in the understanding of happiness between generations X (the relevance of health) and Y (the relevance of an interesting life) and regarding the similarity of other notions of ‘happiness’ across generations. Differences in perceptions of happiness were found: for generation X it is health, for generation Y it is an interesting life. Both of the generation share the opinion that the most significant markers of human happiness are a healthy family, strong personal relationships, a job, a home and wealth. Safety and tranquillity are also important, but with the above, all setbacks are overcome as temporary obstacles that add to one’s sense of ‘happiness’. The hypothesis that perceptions of happiness are determined by different values due to intergenerational differences has been confirmed.

Full textAbstract:
The nation’s first successful commercial waste-to-energy facility went on-line in 1975 and the industry has accumulated a three-decade long track record—operating safely, improving efficiencies, and meeting new, tougher environmental standards. The industry has matured and has learned from operating experience. But as the industry faces a revival, have we also learned to improve on the art of the deal? In the past, the standard lump sum RFP approach forced project sponsors and vendors into a type of Russian roulette—one-sided gamesmanship that opened one or both sides to unreasonable risk with willing partners in the construction and financial community. On today’s financial and financial risk playing field, though, Wheelabrator believes that the road to prosperity—for sponsor and vendor—is found in above-board open book negotiations. It’s a process designed to reduce economic risk and provides a more realistic picture of the actual cost of the project once it’s in the ground and operating. Mark Schwartz, Senior Manager of Business Development for Wheelabrator Technologies, and Cal Disney, Vice President of Whiting-Turner, will review the pitfalls of the past and discuss how the process can be improved when all parties participate in the design, permitting and construction oversight of a facility. They will discuss how the process can lead to contracts with fixed costs, lower capital costs, minimal risks and a public private partnership that gets the most value for taxpayer dollars.
