They also act as an influence on behavioral decisions. In general, values lead to goals, which in turn lead to behavior. Work values act as motivational elements in that they indicate which behaviors are more desirable to perform than others from an ideal perspective, either because the behavior itself is valued, or because the behavior moves the actor toward a valued object or event. Values help organizations determine a range of acceptable behaviors, defining for leaders and employees alike which actions are encouraged and which are unacceptable. Values tell staff what is good for the organization and what is unhealthy. A good part of people’s well-being at work comes from their ability to act in ways that are congruent with their values. Many people are proficient at and enjoy their tasks, but they are ultimately dissatisfied because their personal values do not align with those of their employer. On the other hand, when an employee’s values are in line with their organization’s values, they may do tasks that aren’t always enjoyable, but they can still be satisfied.enWorking Paper
