| Summary: | This study examined the personal value systems of 200 Russophone and 44 ethnic Latvian managers in Latvia using the Personal Values Questionnaire. Value patterns of Russophone and Latvian managers were generally congruent. However, subcultural diversity within the Russophone sample, based upon both geographic location and primary value orientation, produced a complex set of similarities and differences. Russophones in Riga and Russophones inthe provincial city of Daugavpils differed from one another nearly as much as either subgroup differed from Latvian managers. Contextual factors — the long reach of decades of Soviet administrative culture, as well as current political and economic realities — are discussed as possible constraints on value expression. Prospects for cooperation and conflict between Russophones and Latvian managers, grounded in shared and divergent values, are likely to be mediated by perceptions about these contextual realities for sometime to come. |
