Cover Story: The New Work Values Scale (NWVS) is a brief, multidimensional tool integrating different approaches to work values, including personal preferences, moral standards, and social norms. This study aimed to validate the Italian version of this scale (NWVS-I). A sample of 397 Italian adults (M = 30.78, SD = 13.38) completed the NWVS-I and the Portrait Value Questionnaire (PVQ). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the NWVS-I structure. Concurrent validity and gender invariance were also confirmed. The NWVS-I is a reliable tool for assessing work values in the Italian context. It can provide career guidance, promoting a greater awareness of one’s values and facilitating career choices, personnel selection, and human resource management and development consistent with sustainable organizational practices.
