The Effect of Personal Values, Organizational Values, and Person-Organization Fit on Ethical Behaviors and Organizational Commitment Outcomes among Substance Abuse Counselors

Abstract

very own children. A special thanks to my extended family. I want to say thank you to my BFF and mentor, Dr. Michelle Maultsby, who is my champion through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It is important to know a person's values as they are explaining attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions (Thomas, 2013;Robbins & Judge, 2015;McShane & Von Glinow, 2013).
