| Tiivistelmä: | What is the nature of the decision-related personal values of corporate management? Managers' attitudes and behaviours are built upon their personal value systems (PVS). Knowledge about the structure of management's PVS assists in understanding the attributes of corporate decision making. Utilizing a survey instrument developed and used by England (1967, 1975), this article updates the research into corporate managers' personal value systems. England's PVS consists of 66 pre-tested values clustered into five groups. Statistical tests reveal that even with dramatic changes in the business environment the overall personal values structure has not changed over the intervening three decades. The results also reveal that corporate managers retain their pragmatic value orientation as discussed by England. |
