IV. Lecturette (15 minutes)

Values are acquired as a result of value-laden information

from the environment interacting with the inherited characteristics
of the individual. Since cultural background, gender, and socio-
economic level influence social interactions and opportunities,
priorities placed on values by people from various multicultural
grouping will vary and influence the choice of careers and other
life roles.
Values that are influenced by other people’s value
systems may not truly represent the individual’s true values.
 VALIDATION COPY

We have different kinds of values. These are:

personal values like self-respect, self-fulfilment, health,
privacy, peace of mind, financial stability, independence, etc.
family values like love, close family ties, family happiness,
etc.
spiritual values like establishing a close personal
relationship with God, seeking His will in our life, following
His commandments, working for the good and well-being of
the less fortunate, etc.
 VALIDATION COPY

work values like precision work, power, exercising competence,

public contact, fast pace, change and variety, etc.
career values like personal growth, advancement, prestige and
status, recognition, etc.
social and humanitarian values like service to others, helping
people in need, love of country, moral fulfilment, etc.
cultural values like debt of gratitude or utang na loob, getting
along with others or pakikisama, authority.
 VALIDATION COPY

Conflicts in values may be intrapersonal, interpersonal, or

organizational.

a. An intrapersonal conflict is a situation where we experience

conflict of values and needs within ourselves.
Example: Achievement conflicts with health;
independence conflicts with security.
 VALIDATION COPY

b. People with divergent values but who must live or work together
experience interpersonal conflicts.
Example: Your manager values authoritarianism but you value
independence.
 VALIDATION COPY

c. Organizational conflict is experienced by a person whose

personal value system clashes with corporate values.
Example: Your company values teamwork but you value
independence, time freedom, or working alone.
 VALIDATION COPY

Value conflicts create tension and anxiety which can lead to stress.
They can make us indecisive, a situation that can confuse people
we live or work with. Our behaviours become inconsistent and this
can result in interpersonal problems.
 VALIDATION COPY

Resolving Conflicts
To resolve an intrapersonal conflict, we have to be clear
about our priorities. Our priorities depend on our roles and goals and
on our personal mission.
Interpersonal conflicts can be resolved through
communication in which both parties try to see and understand the
situation of the other. If organizational values conflict with our own
personal values, we have a choice of either setting aside our values
or embracing the values of the organization, or leaving the
organization and working for one whose values are compatible with
ours (Santamaria 2009, 71-72 & 87-88)

Values-based holistic approach to career development by Duane Brown

Values have cognitive, affective, and behavioral components which
facilitate prioritization of values for decision-making. Each person develops
a relatively small number of values that are prioritized in a value system.
Values are prioritized when an individual can rank the order of importance
assumed by his/her values in guiding his/her behavior and when he/she
can act according to that priority.
Authentic values are brought out through an insightful dialogue
involving self-reflection. True values, when fully expressed, are capable of
leading a person toward focus, purpose, satisfaction, and happiness.
On the other hand, a value is crystallized once it has a label that is
meaningful to the individual.
Once values are crystallized and prioritized, the individual can go
on directly to career choice making (Villar 2009, 38-40)
