Sažetak
This paper explores the empirical analysis of a hypothesis related to the existence of significant differences among students of social science and business, as related to their value orientation(s) and worldview. Special attention is paid to the students’ perception of social justice and fairness. The paper firstly draws upon the existing results of value surveys, which are applicable to the student population. Further, it is hypothesized that significant differences in value orientations exist between students of business administration and social sciences/humanities, as well as that those differences can be linked to the decisions, relevant to their career choices. The human resource management implications, relevant for the successful motivation and performance management of the surveyed student population, will be identified as well. Methodology of the study is based on the Rokeach value survey, which has been validated and discussed multiple times since the 1970s. The methodological choice of the research instrument is based on the availability of comparable empirical research results in multiple countries and contexts, as well as on its validation in different fields of social science, including sociology, social psychology, anthropology, etc. The obtained results are analyzed and visualized by using the SPSS application software.
