Values Work: A Process Study of the Emergence and Performance of Organizational Values Practices
研究组织价值观如何从理念转化为实践,通过分析某商学院荣誉守则的制定过程,揭示了处理关切、编织行动网络、展演价值观实践和传播价值观话语四种价值观工作。
Existing cognitive and cultural perspectives on values have undertheorized the processes whereby values come to be practiced in organizations. We address this lacuna by studying the emergence and performance of what we call values practices. Drawing on an analysis of the development of an honor code within a large business school, we theorize the multiple kinds of values work involved in dealing with pockets of concern, knotting local concerns into action networks, performing values practices, and circulating values discourse. We conclude by discussing some opportunities and challenges that values work implies for future organizational scholarship.
