Abstract
On presente dans cet article une theorie des categories de valeurs a partir desquelles les cultures peuvent etre comparees; cette theorie est validee grâce a des donnees en provenance de 49 pays du monde entier. Sept categories de valeurs ont ete identifiees et reparties sur trois dimensions bipolaires: Conservatisme oppose a Autonomie intellectuelle et affective, Hierarchie opposee a Egalitarisme, Domination opposee a Harmonie. Les pays sont situes dans un espace bidimensionnel en fonction de leurs valeurs fondamentales, faisant apparaitre des regroupements culturellement significatifs. Les analyses portent sur des echantillons d'enseignants et d'etudiants. On explicite l'impact de la differenciation des valeurs culturelles selon les pays sur les differences de signification du travail. Afin de stimuler la recherche sur le travail et les valeurs culturelles, on enonce des hypotheses concernant les principaux aspects des valeurs culturelles qui sont particulierement compatibles ou en contradiction avec la centralite du travail, avec diverses normes de societe touchant le travail, et avec la poursuite de quatre types de valeurs ou buts professionnels.
