Sažetak
Drawing on the previous research of the hierarchy of values
and representation of value orientations of adolescents, we
have defined two research goals: (1) to determine the value
orientations of the representative subgroup of vocational
school students in Primorsko Goranska County, and (2) to
make a contribution to the research of factor structure and
scale reliability of the Values Orientation Scale (Franc et al.,
2002) on the same sample. The data were collected from a
stratified group sample of 760 students (M=17.5 years;
SD=1.22; 41.2% female students) attending ten different
vocational schools. The aim was to verify the component and
factor structure of the scale and its reliability as well as to
determine the students’ hierarchy of values and value
orientations. The results indicate that the component structure
of the questionnaire that was applied on the vocational
schools students differs significantly from the structure on the
representative sample of the students of all high schools
determined by the authors of the scales. By way of factor
analysis, two significant factors were extracted: (1) self-
-realization and conventional value orientation and (2)
hedonistic value orientation. Love, balanced life style, family,
friends, and close friendships are at the top of the students’
hierarchy of values. The results imply the need to upgrade
and reconstruct this scale for further application in vocational
schools.
