Rao, T. Venkateswara (1992). Managerial Work Values Scale. (ETS# TC017667) Developed to focus specifically on nine work values of managers, using the paired-comparison method to measure their relative strengths. The values/work dimensions include: creativity, economics, independence, status, service, academics, security, collegiality, and work conditions. Each item in a pair represents one of the nine work dimensions. Since values influence managers' choices, which are important in determining managerial effectiveness because they influence outcomes, managers are likely to make better decisions in all situations if they act with an awareness of their reasons and with the knowledge of the extent to which their values direct their decisions. Useful as a values-clarification activity and can be used in conjunction with any career-development program. An action plan can be created for helping respondents to bring their careers more closely in line with their work values. Instrument is not intended for in-depth personal growth, psycho-diagnostic, or therapeutic work. Intended for use in training groups; for demonstration purposes; to generate data for training or organization development sessions; and for other group applications in which the trainer, consultant, or facilitator helps respondents use the data for achieving some form of progress.
