The objectives of this study were to identify the types of Work Values of the junior college students, and to verify the characteristics of them. The population of this study was the junior college students in the whole country. A total of 671 subjects were selected, and data collected from 634 subjects were used. Types of Work Values were identified through the factor analysis, and t-test between variables was used to determine the characteristics of the students. The research instrument used in this study was the Maryland Work Value Inventory(MWVI) designed by Meitus, R. The findings of this study were as follows ; a. Types of Work Values of the junior college students through the factor analysis can be classified and presented as Intrinsic Work Values(competency, contribution, achievement) and Extrinsic Work Values(reward, status, stability). b. Work Values of the junior college students were reward, achievement, competency, status, contribution, stability in order. c. Sophomores who will commence work near at hand place greater importance on intrinsic work values than freshmen. d. Work Values were affected by parents` degree of education and occupation, especially by father`s. The results showed that father`s degree of education and occupation were major variables determining SES in a family. e. The results suggest that extrinsic values(reward, status) was formed when parents` degree of education was higher and their occupation was more stable.
