Work and societal values were examined through a 72‐item survey for a sample of nearly six hundred managers, business owners, and professionals in Turkey. Factor analyses revealed eleven work value dimensions and eleven societal value dimensions. A second order factor analysis revealed nine meta‐dimensions among which indigenous concepts of cynical fatalism and under‐ambitious work deserve further attention. Findings also validate comparatively well‐established notions such as paternalism and trust.
