It distinguishes four phases, which successively broadened the scope of research on work values. The first phase focused on the likely impact of economic development and rising incomes on work values. The second interrogated the role of work values for those experiencing unemployment. The third extended the focus to gendered work values related to womenĄŻs increasing participation in the labor market. Finally, there has been increased interest in the strength of role attachment to a job and organization.
