Abstract [en]

The aim was to provide an overview of the different values that make for an ideal work situation for people currently studying at different educational levels in Sweden, and between males and females (n=190). A questionnaire measuring eight Index of work values were used. Results show that social relations was the index having the highest mean rating for both males and females, followed by work and health, and working conditions. Significant difference between genders could be seen in the Index social relations, work and health, working conditions, and altruism. The single question that received the highest mean score was; to have a fair and understanding boss. The results can contribute to an understanding of how to design workplaces that attract young people and, thus, optimize well-being.
