The purpose of the study was to determine what differences in work attitudes, if any, exist in the American workforce within various demographic groups, and what implications such differences have for managers. Age, level of education, college major, race, sex, pay method, skill level and job classification were chosen to be the independent variables. Current literature indicates that a shift in values has influenced many areas in society in the last two decades. This study was an attempt to determine if the work values of the general population are related to the above eight independent variables.
