title: A Cross-Cultural Replication on Elizur's Facets of Work Values.
abstract: A slightly refined version of Elizur's (1984) 2-facetted theory on the structure of work values is investigated in this study. Two representative samples of West German adults were asked in 1980 and 1982 to rate the importance of various work outcomes. The intercorrelations of the items of each study can be represented with little error in 2-dimensional SSA spaces. Each configuration shows a perfect correspondence to the unordered work-value facet 'modality' and the ordered facet 'performance-system contingency'. Work values that were defined as either affective, cognitive, or instrumental lead to wedge-like regions emanating from an origin, while those that were classified into one of four categories from 'directly contingent on individual performance' to 'almost independent of individual performance, system-contingent' formed concentric bands around this origin. This confirms Elizur's finding of a radex structure. In spite of this structural invariance, Elizur's Israeli samples differ from ours in the distributions of the importance scores attributed to the various work outcomes.
