system contain some differences. Youths in school are very much influenced by
family orientations and peers towards work and work choices, whereas youths
in colleges and universities gain wider exposure through socialization with
fellow students and lecturers, administrators, external agents and through their
involvement in a variety of campus activities. The exposure to different role
sets and role models may engender differential influence on work values of students
in schools and at universities. Although there are some researches of work values
of adolescents, there are not many researches that compares youth work values
across different age groups in school and university contextual settings. Yet
this gap in knowledge is important if we are to examine the patterns of work
values formation across different age levels and social-educational settings.
This study aims to fill the gap in the knowledge of the formation of patterns
of work values emerging amongst youths who are in the school setting, in comparison
to those who have entered college and universities in Malaysia.]]>Alwin, D.F., R.L. Cohen and T.M. Newcomb,1991Arnett, J.J.,200055469480Arnett, J.J.,2004Pages: 280Pages: 280Busacca, L.A., R.S.
