RETORTILLO OSUNA, Alvaro  and  RODRIGUEZ NAVARRO, Henar. Inmigration, acculturation strategies and work values: an exploratory study. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.2, pp.187-202. ISSN 2174-0534.

Over the last two decades, Spain has become a major immigration country with the associated economical, labour, cultural impact ant its implications. This paper departs from a consideration of the complexity and multi-dimensionality of this phenomenon. A review is made of literature regarding the connexion between acculturation strategies deployed by the immigrants and social values -a key component of work fit and work meaning. Acculturation strategies in this exploratory study are based on Berry's Model. These strategies identify which work aspects are awarded more importance and to what extent cultures from both the country of origin and the host country influence the attribution of value.

Keywords : Immigration; Acculturation strategies; Work values; Social inclusion.
