Mexican Employee Survey on Work Values and Job Satisfaction

A survey of 3,201 Mexican employees from 30 companies within a single holding, living across 11 cities. The data was collected by Luis M. Arciniega to investigate the relationship between Schwartz's theory of basic values and specific facets of job satisfaction. It uses a 16-portrait instrument to measure work values and a Spanish-language version of the Job Diagnosis Survey for satisfaction.

Use Cases

• Predicting job satisfaction facets based on self-transcendence and other high-order values from Schwartz's theory.
• Analyzing the correlation between implicit work values, measured via verbal portraits, and specific job satisfaction dimensions.
• Modeling the distribution of work values across a large, multi-company organizational sample.

Strengths

• Sample size of 3,201 employees provides a substantial basis for analysis.
• Data collection is focused on a specific organizational context (30 companies within one holding).
• Uses established psychological instruments: Schwartz's value theory and the Job Diagnosis Survey.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and organizational bias inherent to the specific Mexican holding company sample.
