“…Value conflicts occur when two or more specific values, with different implications for behaviour, concurrently influence one or more actors (Mulligan, 2004). In a systematic literature review, Rusjan Figelj and Biloslavo (2015) identified 21 different types of competing values in organisations. When value conflicts occur, actors have to negotiate the conflicting values.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of work-related value conflicts on information security in two organisations in nuclear power production and related industry. Design/methodology/approach A mixed-methods design was applied. Individual interviews were conducted with 24 employees of two organisations in Sweden and questionnaire data on information security climate were collected from 667 employees (62%) in the same two organisations. Findings The qualitative part of the study identified five different types of value conflicts influencing information security behaviour. The quantitative part of the study found that value conflicts relating to information security had a negative relationship with rule-compliant behaviour. The opposite was found for participative security behaviour where there was a positive relationship with value conflicts. A high climate of information security was positively related to both rule-compliant and participative information security behaviour. It also moderated the effect of value conflicts on compliant information security behaviour. Originality/value This paper highlights organisational contextual conditions that influence employees’ motivation and ability to manage value conflicts relating to information security in a high-risk industry. It also enables a better understanding of the influence of the information security climate on information security in the presence of value conflicts in this type of industry.

“…Johnson means that therefore not only can organizations strive for both, but they must. Much research has focused paradoxes at the management level (Rusjan & Biloslavo, 2015), but tensions between demands also appear at operator level of the organization (Ripamonti & Scaratti, 2015;Tracy, 2004), and may present stressful goal conflicts for the employees (Pousette, 2001). Lewis (2000) identified three organizational paradox-coping strategies: acceptance, confrontation, and transcendence.…”

Organizational demands on productivity, innovations, and safety may seem paradoxical. How can the organization support employees to cope with such paradox? Based on organizational climate measures of safety, occupational health, innovativeness, and production effectiveness, we explored if a second-order organizational climate could be identified, that was associated with staff safety, health, innovations and team effectiveness, and if such a climate could be represented by an organizational climate of perceived organizational support (POS). Questionnaire data were collected from 137 workgroups in four Swedish companies in construction and mining. Analyses (structural equation modeling) were done at the workgroup level and a split sample technique used to investigate relations between climates and outcomes. A general second-order organizational climate was identified. Also, an organizational climate constructed by items selected to represent POS, was associated with team effectiveness, innovations, and safety. A POS-climate may facilitate employees' coping with paradoxes, and provide a heuristic for managers in decision making.
