Leuty and Hansen (Journal of Vocational Behavior 79:379-390, 2011) identified six domains of work values in undergraduate students in the West. The review undertaken in this paper suggests that the factor structure of work values of university students in Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong essentially matches these six domains, except for the omission of 'Family Maintenance' and Wang's (Indigenous Psychological Research in Chinese Societies 2:206-250, 1993) 'Instrumental Values.' This suggests some commonality in the work values construct between the East and West, but there are a few subtle differences. It is argued that such differences heighten the need for measurement scales with context-specific and society-specific items when examining work values in different settings
