The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between factors pertaining to work values and vocational selecting behaviors. In study 1, data were collected from 735 college students (336 men and 399 women) in Japan. A questionnaire contained work values. A factor analysis revealed the following five factors: self-worth, social evaluation, comfortable working environments, cordial human relations, and independence from the organization. The questions pertained to vocational selecting behaviors. An analysis based on the Hayashi's quantification theory revealed two axes: social and aspirational. The social was related to low level of social evaluation and comfortable working environments. The aspirational was related to high level of self-worth, social evaluation and independence from the organization. In study 2, 21 adults were grouped into five types: facing up to reality, pursuing both personal and social activities, moratorium, part-time job worker, and mixed. The types were based on vocational selecting behaviors of the college students. By interviews to job hunting while still in the college, differences were noticed work values and vocational selecting behaviors in three types: facing up to reality, pursuing both personal and social activities, and moratorium.
