A cross-sectoral study of value profiles and differences between employees in private and public sector in south east Europe

In the analysis on a sample of 1166 respondents from a population of six European countries (seven regions), the subsample of 729 respondents employed in enterprises and subsample of 437 respondents employed in local administrative units were analyzed. Analysis also covers subsamples of employees who are on the top, middle and lower level in management of an enterprise/local administrative unit board. Each subsample is divided into six subsamples by region. In accordance with previously established objectives, methodological approach and given statistical hypothesis, in the first part of research, differences were analyzed in three chapters (among respondents from enterprises, local administrative unit and by level in management), compared to respondents' answers on Hofstede's Value Survey. Research conducted in this paper has shown that each region has its own specificity and its unique employee value profiles. This paper forms a concept of employee value dimensions in the service of human resource development. When we take into account the topicality of regional development, value dimensions have a new meaning linked to clear objectives of human resource development at the local level. The resulting employee value profiles, based on representative sample of employees in private and public sector, can be further used to diagnose condition and potential of human resources of a particular region or municipality, indicate the possible directions of development of the region and, to that end, the selection of adequate interventions in the management of human resources at the local level.
