AB  - Problem statement: Work values have been widely studied in management areas, among
students and nurses. One can easily obtain literatures on these populations. One may face some
difficulties when searching for literature on work values of counselors. Approach: The current study
intends to explore the work values of Malaysian school counselors, specifically and to determine if
their work values differ based on gender, level of education and experience as counselors, school
location and size of school population. Results: Their work values were measured using a 60 items
work value instrument. The overall mean of counselor’s work value was 3.71 (SD = 0.43). There was a significant difference of work values between male and female counselors. Conclusion: Work values were found to be associated with age, experience and academic qualification. No correlation was found between work values and location of school and size of school.
