dc.description.abstract | The article is an empirical report of
how eight Norwegian organizations
comprehend and practice their
values. Discussing the concept
of value and relevant analytical
perspectives, the article proposes
an approach to the study of
values in organizations. Values are
studied as espoused core concepts
and in-use practices. The concept
of intentionality is discussed,
informing the value apprehension
in organizations. Utilizing six
dimensions of organizational life:
environment, structure, primary
activity, maintenance, change, and
management, the relative influence
of values to core organizational
functions are examined. The eight
organizations invest substantial
efforts in maintaining employee
value motivation. Reflections
on influences by Norwegian
environmental norms, values
significance in primary activity,
in structural power relations,
to capacities of change, and
managerial role, are to a lesser
degree executed. | en |
