Personal values are what are referred to as a person's inherent elements. It is made up of their own professional interests and values, which are determined by their educational and training abilities and competences ( Carpenter & Foster, 1977 ; Beynon et al., 1998 ). Employment-related information, such as a personally satisfying job due to excellent working conditions, is likewise an essential component ( Aycan & Fikret-Pasa, 2003 ). When a person is motivated by intrinsic motivations, he or she is more likely to work for a job that is intriguing to them, or even one that is related to their studies, as well as a work environment that is acceptable to a degree, or at the very least up to par.

Abstract
Studies on career choice are crucial, and the earliest iteration of career choice framework is the three-dimensional framework that is composed to determine the underlying concepts of intrinsic, extrinsic, and interpersonal factors behind a career. However, most frameworks in literature does not consider the public and private sectors as a variable impacting career choice. Recent studies have shown that perceived work in the public sector or the private sector may alter factors influencing career choice. This is imperative as every economy is divided into two sectors. Private and public sector organisations have varying objectives, and a study is needed in order to study their effect on career choice. Therefore, the objective of this chapter is to propose a new, updated framework studying factors influencing career choice, whereby the two dimensions of public and private sector will be added as part of the framework of career choice. This chapter also specifies the items under intrinsic, extrinsic, and interpersonal factors.
