| Abstract: | This study offers a methodology for empirically assessing the core values of an organization. Means-end analysis is used in order to determine those values that organization members manifest in their daily behaviour, and which are not just espoused "truisms". The method is based on the sense members of an organization make of what they do. Sensemaking follows a means-end pattern, through which individual actions converge into central values. The values most central in this means-end structure are the core values that effectively motivate organization members in their job. |
