A Discriminant Analysis of Students' Work Values: Differences between Engineering and Liberal Arts.

Neumann, Lily; Neumann, Yoram

Journal of Experimental Education, v52 n1 p41-46 Fall 1983

Three discriminant analyses were performed for each of the different factors of work values. All dimensions discriminated effectively between liberal arts and engineering students. Liberal arts students tended to focus on general aspects of work, while engineering students maintained values relevant to specific aspects of their perceived jobs. (Author/DWH)
