Abstract

This study aims to identify the profile of work value patterns among educated employees in Yogyakarta and to determine their influence on job satisfaction. Work value patterns contain elements of work values ​​arranged hierarchically according to their degree of importance. The work value pattern profile describes the priority of which elements of work values ​​are given more attention and which are given relatively less attention by an individual in their work. This study aims to determine whether or not there is an influence of work value patterns on job satisfaction and to determine whether or not there is a difference in job satisfaction between male and female educated employees in Yogyakarta. The research sample was 146 male/female postgraduate students who were already working in Yogyakarta. The instrument used to reveal work values ​​was based on the theory developed by Lofquist and Dawis (1978), and the tool used to measure job satisfaction was adapted into 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 influence of work-value patterns on job satisfaction. T-test (t-test) testing at a significance level (-) of 5% was used to determine whether or not there were differences in job satisfaction. The results of the study showed that; (1) the work-value patterns of educated employees in Yogyakarta were dominated by achievement work values, followed in succession by safety, comfort, progress, social, and finally independence, (2) the dominant work-value patterns of educated male employees were achievement and progress work values, while those of female employees were safety and achievement work values, (3) the elements of achievement, progress, safety, comfort, and independence work values ​​among educated employees in Yogyakarta collectively had a significant influence on job satisfaction, (4) The achievement work value variable had the most dominant influence among other independent variables on the dependent variable of job satisfaction, and (5) there was a significant difference in job satisfaction between educated male and female employees in Yogyakarta
