Wotk Values

What are your work values? If you’re unhappy at work, it is likely because your values are not being met in the workplace. For example, if you value autonomy and independence and you have a boss who is constantly looking over your shoulder, you’re not going to be happy there as the situation is totally opposed to who you are and what you value. The job may be fun, you may like the work, but you either need to change your job or change your boss or, possibly, adopt a reframing attitude to bridge the gap between your values and the way your supervisor and coworkers value you. Your Work Environment Ask yourself what work environment will give you a combination of the values that matter most to you. Once you have determined the top three to five values you hold important, brainstorm on your own or with friends and research which jobs would likely meet most of these values. Working with others on all stages of research and development is extremely helpful.

Here is another exercise to help you to identify those values that you think will be important to you in your work. Your work values may change as work situations change. It is important to evaluate your work values often. Write the following values in your journal. Read each one and note if it is always important to you, sort of important, or not important. The definition is there to help you think about the value. If your definition is different, use your own definition when rating the value.

Achievement: Being able to meet my goals

Balance: Time for family, work and play

Independence: Control of my own destiny
