Work values refer to the business ethics and personal work preferences of individuals. Using the Filipino Work Values Scale, we characterised 10 work values of 141 full-time Filipino college students. Interpersonal, intellectual-achievement and occupational work values emerged as the most salient work values among the students. The rest appeared as either "weak" (environmental, material, managerial, religious, organisational and family-centred) or "very weak" (variety). Reflective of family influence over career orientation, some of the work values correlated with parents' educational and professional backgrounds. As student work values are considered to influence long-term career choices and employability, comprehensively characterising work values may be useful in tailoring career counselling interventions that can help improve career pathing and job placements of students.
