Abstract
Abstract:Morris Rosenberg’s scale of occupational values was used at each stage of the Estonian Longitudinal Survey (ELS). so we could study changes in values of our respondents from 1966 to 1991-from their late adolescence until middle age. We found that. in comparison with Western countries, people in Estonia gave low priority to material rewards as the indication of a good job.At the same time, the values of self-expression and self-development were given higher priority among our respondents. However, compared with other regions of the USSR, people in Estonia gave a higher priority to material rewards and a lower priority to the value of work being useful to society. Further, through the course of working life, the importance of material rewards increased and self-expression and self-development declined in relative importance. Nonetheless. overall we observed a high consistency of occupational values over time. especially if these corresponded to the mainstream.
