Understanding individual compassion in organizations: the role of appraisals and psychological flexibility (2011, background): “Schwartz (2010) identified ten universal values, applicable to all individuals, of which “universalism” and “benevolence” are two that are particularly directed toward preserving and enhancing the welfare of others.”
Why and When Do Motives Matter? An Integrative Model of Motives, Role Cognitions, and Social Support as Predictors of OCB (2013, background): “Although prior theory positions motives as predictors of behavior (Rioux & Penner, 2001; Schwartz, 2010), it is possible that performing high levels of OCB may activate strong OCB motives.”
Refining the theory of basic individual values. (2012, background): “Schwartz (2006, 2009) later added other theorized bases for the order: whether pursuit of the value aims to avoid anxiety (e.g., security) or is relatively anxietyfree (e.g., benevolence) and whether it serves self-protection (e.g., power) or fosters self-expansion and growth (e.g., universalism).”
Value tradeoffs propel and inhibit behavior: Validating the 19 refined values in four countries (2017, background): “Hypotheses 1, 2, 3, and 4 test the theoretical assumption that behavior entails a tradeoff between values that propel the behavior and those that oppose it (Schwartz, 2010).”
Positive effects of promoting prosocial behavior in early adolescence (2014, background): “Values related to self-transcendence, which emphasize accepting others as equals and displaying concern for their welfare, also proved to be important motives for prosocial behaviors (e.g. Schwartz, 2010).”
Values that Underlie and Undermine Well–Being: Variability across Countries † (2017, methodology): “…values often lead to behaviours with positive consequences that may neutralize the negative effects of the social focus on SWB. Unlike efforts to resolve societal problems, the helpful and cooperative behaviour toward close others that benevolence values motivate (Schwartz, 2010) often succeeds.”
The motivation and inhibition of breaking the rules: : Personal values structures predict unethicality (2015, background): “Power values express the importance and pursuit of control or dominance over resources and others, while achievement values highlight the pursuit of personal success according to social standards in a competitive environment (Schwartz, 2010).”
Making Things Happen: A Model of Proactive Motivation (2010, background): “Moreover, according to Schwartz (2010), openness to change values is also anxiety free rather than anxiety based, which increases the resources available for proactive goal striving.”
Helping and harming others in the workplace: The roles of personal values and abusive supervision (2011, background): “Contextual factors play a key role in activating values (Higgins, 1996; Schwartz, 2010) and strengthening or weakening values-to-behavior relationships (Grant and Mayer, 2009; Torelli and Kaikati, 2009; Verplanken and Holland, 2002).”
