The study sought to examine the relationship between quality of work-life and quality of life depending on how central work is in an individual’s life and what value work holds for them. Literature internationally has shown that because work forms such an integral part of individuals’ lives, that this could influence their experience of quality of life, indicating that a high quality of work life could lead to a high quality of life. Similarly, if work is a central life interest and dependent on the value that work holds, the loss of work could potentially influence quality of life. A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used, with a correlational approach. Snowball sampling was used to gather a sample of 163 working adults in South Africa, through a personal network of family and friends. Participants completed scales assessing the four variables of interest provided in an online questionnaire. The results indicated that individuals who experienced their quality of work-life as more positive also indicated a higher quality of life. This relationship was stronger when individuals saw work as having intrinsic value. However, the degree to which work was central to a person’s life, and to which work was seen as having value as it provided monetary rewards (extrinsic value), social connections and relationships (social value), or status (prestige value) were not found to alter the relationship between quality of work-life and quality of life. As shown previously in both international and local literature, work is always placed second to family in importance. Based on these findings, limitations and recommendations were suggested, as well as theoretical and practical implications.

O valor extrínseco é uma das variáveis que mais carregam informações sobre o valor de uma opção; características como a probabilidade de exercício e a trajetória até o vencimento dizem muito sobre como o mercado está influenciando pelo menos a ação-objeto. Como o valor extrínseco é uma variável bastante sensível, é importante que sua mensuração seja a mais detalhada o possível. Este trabalho buscou captar a geração instantânea de valor intrínseco avaliando as cotações \"tick by tick\" das ações e opções de compra da VALE5, PETR4, OGXP3, BVMF3 e ITUB4 durante os anos de 2011 e 2012. Foi possível demonstrar que mesmo uma mínima diferença de valor extrínseco captado possibilitou uma maior capacidade de explicação em diferentes modelos testados, comparando com a captação de final de dia (EOD). / The intrinsic value is one of the variables that most carry information on the value of a stock option. Characteristics such as exercise probability and path to maturity summarize how the market is working at least for the stock. As extrinsic value is very sensitive, it is important that its measurements happen in the most possible detailed way. This study focus on capture the instantaneous extrinsic value generation, analyzing \"tick by tick\" quotes of VALE5, PETR4, OGXP3, BVMF3 e ITUB4 stocks and related call options in the years of 2011 and 2012. It was possible to demonstrate that even a minimal difference of extrinsic value captured resulted in a better explanation capacity based on different tested models, in comparison with the extrinsic value captured by end of day data.
