The present study investigated the effects of basic value orientations on career success among young Russians. Taking into account the motivational nature of values and value congruence effect, we proposed that individuals emphasizing value orientations which prioritize work-related goals (“reputation and power”) would occupy a higher position on a career ladder. At the same time, we expected that value orientation bringing to focus other life domains (“security and family” or “freedom and self-development”) would not have effects on the outcome variable. The sample included employed young adults between 18 and 35 (N = 3186) with the data collected in 2018. The hypotheses were tested using multivariate and multinomial regression analysis. As a result, it was found that the emphasis on “reputation and power” positively predicted career success, while “security and family” value orientation appeared to be negatively connected to it, whereas “freedom and self-development” had no significant effect, The empirical findings are further discussed and interpreted with respect to conflicting goals and “intrinsic” vs “extrinsic” values perspective. The study underlies and provides evidence for the importance of basic value orientations as important components of “personal culture” in predicting career success as a result of social action.
