The Importance of Values in Work

We all have a different desire for, I would say, more structure than control. You know, we want to feel in control over what we're working on. There are basically 10 different values: Either self-direction, stimulation, hedonism, achievement, power, security, conformity, tradition, benevolence, and universalism. Values that are diametrically opposed to your work are often a sign that you aren't going to be as motivated as you possibly could be with what you're currently doing.
