MANAGERIAL WORK-VALUES SCALE ACTION PLAN
Instructions: Use the data from the interpretation sheet to evaluate your current job. The
work-value dimensions you value most may or may not be present in your job. The
following action plan will allow you to outline ways to get more of the dimensions you
value most. List your work values in rank order and then assess the degree to which your
current job satisfies these values, using a scale of high, medium, and low satisfaction. As
an option, you may choose to retake the Managerial Work-Values Scale, responding to
the statements from the frame of reference of your present job. The results of the second
survey then can be compared with the results of the first survey and an action plan
created from that point.
My work values: Degree to which my job
satisfies these values:
1. ________________________________ _________________
2. ________________________________ _________________
3. ________________________________ _________________
4. ________________________________ _________________
5. ________________________________ _________________
6. ________________________________ _________________
7. ________________________________ _________________
8. ________________________________ _________________
9. ________________________________ _________________
ACTION PLAN
The outline on the next page allows you to look at the degree to which your job satisfies
your work values and make action plans for maintaining the dimensions you like and for
changing the dimensions you do not like. Perhaps you rated your job as “high” in
satisfying most of your key work values; you might use the outline to make a plan for
maintaining that satisfaction. If you rated your job as “low” or “medium” in its ability to
satisfy certain work values, decide on the changes you desire and fill out the action plan
accordingly.
