Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Utilizing a descriptive research design, this study compared the perceived level of work values among 144 employees under Generation X (n = 64) and Generation Y (n = 80). This study specifically tested if there were significant differences on the five work values between Generation X and Generation Y. The survey instrument was adapted from Filipino Work Values Scale which has been found to measure Filipino work values validly and reliably. It was revealed that respondents from both generations rated all five work values as very important. A statistical test also shown that there was no significant difference in each work value between the two generation groups being studied. The main recommendation of this study is to boost staff development programs leaning toward strengthening work values directed to both generation groups. Also, the programs should not be divided per generation group because the study suggests that both share the same perception toward the work values being evaluated.
