Title: What do Europeans Require From Their Jobs? A Latent Class Approach on the Comparable Countries.

Abstract: This is a cross-cultural study comparing the countries included in the European Values Study in terms of their work value preferences. It takes a methodological perspective and introduces a restricted latent class procedure that could be followed in order to cross-culturally analyze dichotomized measures that are expected to fit in Guttman scaling. The procedure provides valuable information on the distribution of the ordered latent classes within each work value domain (extrinsic, intrinsic and social). The fact that these classes are ordered facilitates the comparison across countries and highlights the differences and similarities more clearly. Furthermore, the procedure allows researchers to examine the associations between the domains to capture the possible response biases (e.g. agreement tendency). The procedure is also useful in order to determine the quality of measurement scales by allowing the researcher to examine how well the items follow Guttman scaling. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
