Description
Summary:This paper presents a comprehensive assessment of managers' values by extending Milton Rokeach's theory of values. Through an assessment of previous value studies, a typology of managerial value orientations is developed. This classification will assist future value researchers in developing a priori testable hypotheses regarding managerial value preferences and in measuring managers' values within the context of a value orientation. Modifications to the Rokeach Value Survey are used to enhance the analysis and application of the study of values to organizational settings. Behavioral implications of these findings are explored in the context of managerial decision making in a business organization.
