Abstract
Engaging a worker remains a big
challenge for organisations.
Research suggests that understanding
work values of professionals
enables organisations keep the
workers engaged. Besides analyzing
the work value preferences of
social work professionals in India,
the study empirically examines the
relationship between demographic
variables and work value preferences.
In all 200 social workers
from various sectors in the National
Capital Region participated in the
study. The study suggests that
social work professionals preferred
work values which could have
helped them realized their potential
while giving least priority to
social interaction, social relation
and dependency values. Demographic
variables like age, education,
religion and gender were
found to impact the work value
preference of social workers.
