Description
Summary:Increasing interest is being shown in management behavior cross-culturally. Additionally, considerable research has been directed toward the study of values and managerial behavior. This paper reconsiders earlier research of England et al. regarding personal values of managers. The paper first considers the issue of culture, followed by the nature of values, attitudes, and behavior. The study then discusses, in detail, the theory and methodology of value measurement paying particular attention to the work of George W. England and his associates. The paper concludes with implications for devising culturally consistent managerial styles.
