The Structure of O*NET Occupational Values
Smith, Thomas J.; Campbell, Cynthia
Journal of Career Assessment, v14 n4 p437-448 2006
The structure of occupational values is investigated using several analytical techniques. Data from the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Information Network (O*NET) describing need reinforcers for 900 occupations are examined using exploratory factor analysis, cluster analysis, and multidimensional scaling. Results indicated broadly defined values that primarily reflected elements of workplace identity and workplace structure. (Contains 2 tables and 5 figures.)
