Work Values Scale: EVAT

The Work Values Scale EVAT (based on its initials in Spanish: Escala de Valores hacia el Trabajo) was created in 2000 to measure values in the work context. The instrument operationalizes the four higher-order-values of the Schwartz Theory (1992) through sixteen items focused on work scenarios. The questionnaire has been used among large samples of Mexican  (see Arciniega & Gonzalez, 2005: 2006) and Spanish (see Gonzalez y Arciniega, 2005) individuals reporting adequate psychometric properties. The instrument has recently been translated into Portuguese and Italian. The cross-cultural validity of the three versions has been demostrated using different methods for assesssing measurement equivalence (see Arciniega, González, Soares, Ciulli and Giannini, 2009)

Original version in Spanish (Arciniega & Gonzalez, 2000)
