| Popis: | The present study attempts an empirical integration of the constructs of needs, values, and preferences. The Minnesota Importance Questionnaire measuring needs, the Work Values Inventory assessing values, the Values Scale also assessing values, and the Work Aspect Preference Scale measuring preferences for aspects of work were completed by 439 postsecondary students. The relationship among eight traits that had common labels or operational definitions across all four instruments were examined in a multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) design ( D. T. Campbell & D. W. Fiske, 1959 , Psychological Bulletin , 56 , 81–105). The Campbell and Fiske criteria and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the MTMM matrix demonstrated substantial convergent and discriminant validity. A series of models was tested with CFA, and the overall findings suggested that the eight traits were more important than the four methods for explaining the variance in the MTMM matrix. It was concluded that the four instruments are measuring highly similar constructs. |
