Transcendence can be understood as either a personal pursuit (individual transcendence) or a community-oriented one (collective transcendence). A survey of 402 business students in Mexico, analyzed with a structural equation model, showed that these two orientations are clearly different. Young participants preferred seeking personal meaning over collective meaning, suggesting that collective transcendence may be a prerequisite for personal transcendence. The findings can inform job profile design for staff development and serve as a positive model for life education and society.
