Mason, E. S. (1994). Work values: A gender comparison and implications for practice. Psychological Reports, 74(2), 415-418. Explored the work values of 7,629 managerial and clerical women and men across various US industries. Ss were presented with 14 work values and asked to select the 7 most relevant. Results show that each group's patterns or rankings of values lacked an overall similarity. Clerical women and men (total of 5,145 Ss) were the least similar to each other while the value patterns of managerial men and women approached similarity. Being treated with respect in the workplace was of paramount importance to both clerical and managerial women. Managerial women (n = 752) also ranked working for a supervisor whom they respect at the top of their value hierarchy.
