behavior, personal background, and work values. Using office workers for the research sample and Facebook as the social medium for investigation, an exploratory factor analysis was conducted to dimensionalize the constructs of social media usage behavior and work values. The results of bivariate
correlation suggest that personal background and social media usage behavior are correlated and social media usage behavior and work values are partially correlated.
