Abstract

This study aimed to investigate associations between vocational interests, personality traits and work values. 281 students participated, with a mean age of 23.97, from business administration, psychology, philosophy and theology, of the state of São Paulo. Three instruments (Scale Work Values Assessment, Search Quiz Self-Addressed and Battery Personality Factor) were use. The results indicated that the social responsibility and management factors explained the interests Realistic, Social, Conventional and Artistic, with an explained variance between 2% and 18%. With respect to personality traits as predictors of working values, results showed values between 9% and 33%, with ‘Competence’ as the most present facet in the models. The results are discussed according to the literature.
