• Resumen

  • This study extended research exploring the values embedded in organization members’ interpersonal constructs. The values unmasked allow for increased understanding of an organization's culture. At the child care center studied, key values included consideration for others, personability, and integrity. Values unique to the organization (such as assertiveness) were highly ranked, suggesting the connection of individual values to an organization's culture. Personal constructs were found to reveal personal values, which grouped together indicated organizational values.
