Abstract

This study is intended to identify the profile of work-value patterns among educated employees in Yogyakarta, and to find out how it affects job satisfaction. The work-value pattern contains elements of work-value arranged hierarchically according to the degree of importance. The work-value pattern profile describes the priority interests of which work-value elements are paid more attention to, and which are relatively less noticed by someone at work. This study was directed to determine whether or not there is an influence of work-value patterns on job satisfaction, and to determine whether or not there are differences in job satisfaction between educated male and female employees of Yogyakarta. The research sample was aimed at 146 students participating in the postgraduate program who are already working in the city of Yogyakarta. The tool used to reveal work-value is based on the theory developed by Lofquist and Dawis (1978), and the slat used to measure job satisfaction was adapted in Indonesian from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSC) compiled by Weiss, et al. (1967) . In data analysis, multiple linear regression statistical techniques were used at a significance level (alpha) of 5% to measure the effect of work-value patterns on job satisfaction. The t-test (t-test) at the significance level (-) 5% is used to determine whether or not there are differences in job satisfaction. The results showed that; (1) the work-value pattern of Yogyakarta's educated employees is dominated by achievement-work values, then followed by safety, comfort, progress, social, and finally independence, (2) the dominant male-educated employee-work-value pattern is achievement-work-value. and progress, while female employees are work-values of safety and achievement, (3) the elements of work-value of achievement, progress, safety, comfort, and independence among educated Yogyakarta employees together have a significant influence on job satisfaction, (4) The work value-achievement variable has the most dominant influence among other independent variables on the dependent variable of job satisfaction, and (5) there is a significant difference in job satisfaction between educated male and female employees in Yogyakarta.
