Values
Corporate Values
In value statements most employers express what they regard as evidence of loyalty, expected behavior, or ethical practice. Organizational cultures encompass and reflect the values that guide an organization in its daily activities; that is, the sum total of all the ways people are expected to act in pursuing the goals and objectives of the organization. As work moves across departmental boundaries—for example, the flow of patients moving from admitting to a nursing unit, to radiology and back—inevitable differences in values affect what is done and how and when things are done.

When corporations overall or individual supervisors or other members of management violate their own values, employees become cynical.
They remember what they have been told, and they talk of past promises that have been broken. They use such descriptors as “unfair” or “double-talk,” accusing management of “talking the talk” but not “walking the walk.”

Personal Values
What we as individuals consider ethical or unethical depends on our personal value systems, those fundamental concepts and motives in which we believe. Personal values concern what is important regarding work, for example, challenges, tasks, recognition, creativity, and authority. These values encompass relationships, personal finances, living and recreational activities, hobbies, and entertainment. Other values may include ambition and the desire for fame or the wish to have one’s own enterprise. Attitudes continually reflect the core beliefs and values of individuals. Attitudes can change when beliefs and values change, but that happens neither easily nor often.
