Abstract

Values are essential in peoples’ lives, guiding individuals to think and take some actions. In the workplace, these values are closely related to people’s competence within their duties. As the future workforce generation, it is essential to capture the value possessed by the millennial generation. Therefore, this study investigates what millennials value most in their life. The data was collected using The Short Schwartz’s Value Survey to overview the intrinsic value that motivates people using a Likert scale (0-8). Ten values are measured: power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation, self-direction, universalism, benevolence, tradition, conformity, and security. This study involved millennial workers (N=123) who graduated varies from high school to postgraduate. Benevolence (47.97%) and conformity (47.15%) were considered fundamental values. Nevertheless, there are no differences in values between sex and years of service. Values of achievement (p=0.028) and self-direction (p=0.009) were found different between monthly salaries. Moreover, values of power (p=0.04) and conformity (p=0.03) were found between educational backgrounds. These findings imply significant differences in several values according to millennials’ income and educational background.
