The purpose of this study was to investigate the factor structure of a work values instrument which can be used with elementary school pupils. A factor analysis with varimax orthogonal rotation was performed on protocols collected from 1,976 fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grade pupils. Eleven factors were found, with each factor corresponding to one of the scales on the instrument. All items of a scale had a primary loading on the same factor. Evidence for the construct validity of the instrument was found.
