Values in the Workplace
• Values are stable, evaluative beliefs that guide our
preferences for outcomes. A value is a principle, a
standard, or a quality considered worthwhile or
desirable.
• They define the right or wrong, good or bad
• Value system -- hierarchy of values
• Espoused vs. Enacted values:
– Espoused -- the values we say we use and often think we
use
– Enacted -- values we actually rely on to guide our decisions
and actions
McShane/Von Glinow OB4e © 2008 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 2-13
Three Categories of Values
• Personal values define who an individual is. They serve
as guides in handling situations and interacting with
others.
• Organizational values are the standards that guide an
individual's behavior in a professional context. They
define how an individual accomplishes work, interacts in
professional situations, and how he makes decisions
relative to his job/career.
• Cultural values are standards that guide how a person
relates meaningfully to others in different social
situations.

values, but our everyday conscious decisions and
actions apply our values much less consistently.
• Decisions and behaviors linked to values when:43

2. Have logical reasons to apply values in that situation
3. Situation does not interfere
