Year: 2012
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Our research explored intergenerational value similarities and differences between 4,301 working adults in the Latin American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras and Mexico. In doing so, we expand intergenerational value change theory and value theory by exploring value structures using Rokeach’s (1973) value orientation typology. Research results indicate that all generations from Argentina and Brazil shared similar High Personal and High Moral value orientation types and those from Colombia, Honduras and Mexico shared similar High Personal and High Competence value orientation types. We discuss the significance and implications for practitioners and managers, limitations and made suggestions for further research.
