【副题名】斯沃茨价值观研究观在中国的应用及中国年轻工作者的价值观偏向

【摘要】 本文以斯沃茨人类基本价值观理论以及中国年轻工作者的价值观为主要研究对象。斯沃茨在总结分析多位学者的价值观和需求理论后提出了斯沃茨价值观测量工具(SVS),其中包含了58种价值观条目,它们被归为10种驱动力价值观类型。该论文意在将斯沃茨价值观测量工具(SVS),即这58种价值观条目和相应的10种价值观类型放到中国当代文化背景中进行研究,以期发现斯沃茨尚未发现的一些中国本土文化因素对价值观条目的含义和分类的影响,同时借助该工具从个人层次深入了解当代中国年轻白领工作者的价值观偏向。本文对来自20个省市自治区,工作地点分布于17个省市自治区的98名年轻白领进行了问卷调查,并在自愿前提下获得了相关的背景信息。问卷采用斯沃茨的58个价值观条目,要求调查对象在1-6中选择一个数字表明其在实际生活中对58个价值观条目的重视程度。问卷完成之后,根据斯沃茨的10种价值观类型的分类标准,将数据使用SPSS分析,并将得到的数据与2001年Schwartz的同类数据进行比较,对结果进行了阐述和分析。研究发现10种价值观种类中,“享乐主义”的内部可靠性低于0.6(0.589),说明58个价值观种类中有的条目在中国情景中有着不同的文化含义;而10种价值观类型的重要程度与Schwartz 2001年结果有所差别,按照从高到低的顺序依次为:安全型,仁爱型,自我导向型,遵从型,成就型,普遍关怀型,享乐主义型,权利型,激励型,传统型。从研究中国文化价值观的角度来看,本文可以作为一个研究中国年轻人价值观的新范本。该研究的意义还在于能够启发更多的深度研究来改进该价值观理论,以期能够发现一个更加适应全球各类文化的普遍型测量工具。更多还原

【Abstract】 Based on previous studies on values, culture, and human needs, Schalom, Schwartz derived 57 value items across cultures, which in turn statistically and consistently fall into 10 motivational types. This Schwartz Value Survey has been used with Chinese samples both by Chinese and western scholars. I am interested in figuring out value priorities of young Chinese employees. Driven by this interest, my thesis research constitutes an attempt to study the value priorities of Chinese young employees with the Schwartz’Value Survey. My thesis mainly consists of three research questions: 1) what is the value priority of the young employees, 2) what is the applicability and universalism degree of Schwartz Value Survey andAfter reviewing the former value studies both from a western and local perspective in the first 3 chapters, I apply SPSS to analyze the data collected. Using the translated version of SVS, I have 98 valid questionnaires in total. After the analysis, it turns out that security, benevolence and self-direction are three top value priorities of Chinese young employees. Out of the ten value type, the internal reliability of hedonism is below .6, which is unacceptably valid. Therefore, the universalism of Schwartz Value Survey is questioned when applied in Chinese context.The significance of the paper lie in three aspects: firstly, it gives insights for the further study in the application of SVS instrument and Schwartz’s value theory in the China’s context; secondly, it shows the value priority of young employees throughout China. Thirdly, this thesis will encourage further studies on Schwartz’s basic human value set to make it serve well as a global value measurement instrument in the future.更多还原
