existence (important purpose)‘, as ideals, highest principles and criteria", they
are connected with the realization of purpose. Values are the main concepts
that unfold in their subjective sense, identity, life style etc.°, they characterize
communication, cooperation with others, priorities when faced with a decision
making situation, allowing to separate the essential from the non essential
and choose a defined purpose and behavioural model’. Different values have
different importance for individuals, which can thus help understand and
explain their attitude and behaviour®.
An important factor that affects ones professional activity is the content of
the specialists’ personal values.” Members of one profession tend to have values
and attitudes in common, differentiate from other profession members, On
the one hand values affect the choice of profession, on the other — values are
acquired during the process of the development of professional competencies
and change with the impressions gained from different occurrences and
experience.’°. This has been confirmed by studies that have been dedicated
to determine the values connected with the results of professional activity"
and for the research of the instrumental values of different professional group
members.”
