Abstract
Guided by Holland's (1985) theory of career choice, this study investigated the relationship between Holland-typed majors (RIASEC) and six undergraduate work values (authority, recognition, administrative responsibility, financial success, helping others, and artistic creativity). The participants were 18,137 students who persisted at four-year institutions from 1985 to 1989. The MANOVA results show that Holland-typed majors attract freshmen whose work values fit the departmental environment in which the major is located. The multiple regression analyses further indicate that after taking account of the freshman value score, the Holland-typed majors in senior year help in predicting the seniors' work values.
