Lecture 2 Individual and organizational values

2016-05-10T10:15:59+03:00

Lecture 2 begins with relating values to successful organizations. Also, the importance of the alignment of values is discussed. This lecture also presents an important framework developed by Mary Jo Hatch (1993) focusing on the dynamics of culture and values. The model of layers in human psychology, then, gives us a more detailed understanding of the connection of values with our daily behaviour. At the end of the class, an important relation between individual and organizational values is presented. This discussion will continue in the last lecture of this session.
