About this book

This book investigates the influence of personal values on managerial behaviour in modern organizations, and how this impacts upon company performance and relationships. With a focus on central Europe, the authors explore the notion of a personal values system and seek to identify the influencing factors behind behaviour. Providing a new methodological and contextual framework which goes beyond established measurements, the book offers insights into the most important studies in the area and will provide valuable reading to academics in the fields of management, organization and HRM, as well as practitioners and policy-makers.
