    Long-term care (LTC) administrators exhibit distinct values compared to the general population. This suggests diverse value systems can lead individuals to choose careers in LTC facility administration.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Healthcare Management
    • Social Psychology

    Background:

    • Understanding the value systems of long-term care (LTC) administrators is crucial for effective healthcare leadership.
    • Previous research has not extensively compared the core values of LTC administrators with the general population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the core values of LTC facility administrators with those of a representative national sample.
    • To identify significant differences in value orientations between these two groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the Rokeach Value Survey to assess and quantify the values of participants.
    • Compared value data from LTC administrators against a national sample representative of the general population.

    Main Results:

    • Identified striking and significant differences in value systems between LTC administrators and the general population.
    • Observed a dichotomy in the values held by individuals in LTC administration roles.

    Conclusions:

    • LTC administrators are not a homogenous group in terms of their underlying value orientations.
    • Diverse value systems can converge on the occupational choice of becoming a long-term care facility administrator.
