| Tiivistelmä: | The aim of this article is to augment the value-congruency literature by demonstrating the dynamics of business value structures. The relationship between cognitive discomforms and value restructuring is examined by applying self-affirmation theory. Subjects were randomly assigned either to the treatment group or control group. The subjects in the treatment group were tasked with deciding between two different organizational restructuring options that involved down-sizing. It was found that the values of job-entitlement, and obligations to the disadvantaged shifted in emphasis in a direction that legitimated and justified the lay-off decision. |
