“…As can be seen in Figure 1, the tenth value, hedonism, crosses the boundaries of two different axes, "openness to change," and "self-enhancement" and is related to both. Schwartz validated this taxonomy, which closely resembles structures derived empirically by other researchers (Braithwaite & Law, 1985;Crosby, Bitner, & Gill, 1990), on the basis of empirical evidence from 97 samples in 44 countries (Schwartz, 1992;. More recently, the robustness of the taxonomy of values was supported by Spini (2003).…”

The past decade has seen an unprecedented amount of research on performance feedback processes in organizations. The process by which individuals obtain information about their behaviors is increasingly being recognized as a very important determinant of individual and organizational outcomes (London, 1997). Rapid changes in job demands and the need for individual responsiveness to these changes place a premium on feedback information in organizations. Accordingly, an increasing emphasis on feedback processes can be observed in current management practices.Formal feedback mechanisms are usually an integral part of most performance appraisal and developmental systems, THE INFLUENCE OF PERSONAL VALUES ON FEEDBACK-SEEKING BEHAVIORS STÉPHANE BRUTUS AND ELIZABETH F. CABRERAABSTRACT: This study investigates the relationship between personal values and feedback-seeking behaviors. Feedbackseeking behaviors, or the way by which individuals in organizations actively seek information about their performance, has recently become an important research topic in the management literature. However, the large majority of this research has been conducted in the United States. This study aims to test the relationships between the personal values of a multinational sample and feedback-seeking behaviors. An integrated set of hypotheses regarding the influence of values on feedback seeking are outlined and tested empirically using samples from Canada, China, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United States. As predicted, results indicate that significant aspects of feedback seeking were related to personal values. The perceived cost of feedback seeking, the clarity of the feedback from others, and the use of feedback-seeking behaviors were all linked to personal values. The study also uncovered substantial variations in feedback-seeking behaviors across nations. The implications of these findings for research on feedback-seeking behaviors and for feedback practices are discussed.RESUMEN: En el presente trabajo estudiamos la relación que existe entre los valores personales y los comportamientos de búsqueda de feedback. La búsqueda activa de información por parte de los empleados sobre su rendimiento (comportamientos de búsqueda de feedback) se ha convertido en un área de especial interés, aunque la mayor parte de los trabajos desarrollados al respecto se han realizado en Estados Unidos. Nuestro estudio tiene como objetivo comprobar si la influencia de la cultura en los comportamientos de búsqueda de feedback se debe a las diferencias en los valores personales. En este sentido, se proponen una seria de hypotesis que contrastamos utilizando muestras de Canadá, China, México, Holanda, España y Estados Unidos. Los resultados obtenidos indican que aspectos significativos de la búsqueda de feedback están relacionados con los valores personales. De este modo se comprueba que los costes percibidos de la búsqueda, la claridad del feedback procedente de otros y el uso de comportamientos de búsqueda de feedback se relacionan con los valor...

“…This reflects current research that demonstrates how people -world-wide -increasingly define themselves through their work (Bumpus & Munchus 1996, Crosby, Bitner & Gill 1990, Super & Sverko 1995. There was no conflict here.…”

“…The first is that confirmatory factor analyses has produced weak results, leading researchers (e.g., Crosby et al, 1990) to develop the seven-factor model. Second, the relationship between the four factors and behavior has been mixed (cf., Brief et al, 1996;Wright et al, 1997).…”

“…1 Weber's classification is provided in Table I. One classification scheme of particular interest to us is that of Crosby et al (1990) who classified Instrumental values into the three factors of Conformity, Virtuous, and Self-direction. Crosby et al also classified Terminal values into Idealism, Security, Self-actualization, and Hedonism.…”

This paper examines relationships between accountants’ personal values and their moral reasoning. In particular, we hypothesize that there is an inverse relationship between accountants’ â€œConformityâ€\x9D values and principled moral reasoning. This investigation is important because the literature suggests that conformity with rule-based standards may be one reason for professional accountants’ relatively lower scores on measures of moral reasoning (Abdolmohammadi etÂ al. J Bus Ethics 16 (1997) 1717). We administered the Rokeach Values Survey (RVS) (Rokeach: 1973, The Nature of Human Values (The Free Press, New York)) and the Defining Issues Test (DIT) (Rest: 1979, Development in Judgment Moral Issues (University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, MN)) to164 graduating accounting students enrolled in capstone courses at two universities in the Northeastern United States. As potential entrants into the accounting profession, these subjects bring their values and moral reasoning to bear on attitudes and behaviors in the workplace. We find a highly significant inverse relationship between â€œConformityâ€\x9D values and principled moral reasoning (i.e., those who prefer Conformity values have lower levels of moral reasoning). However, we also find that accounting students as a group do not prefer Conformity values above other values such as Self-actualization and Idealism, and we find positive relationships between Self-actualization and Idealism values and moral reasoning. Implications for values and ethics research are discussed. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 2006Rokeach Values Survey, moral reasoning, DIT,
