Summary andImplications

• Values strongly influence a person’s attitudes.

• An employee’s performance and satisfaction are likely to be higher if his or her values fit well with the organization.

• Managers should be interested in their employees’ attitudes because attitudes give warning signs of potential problems and because they influence behaviour.
