WORK VALUES Worksheet
Problem
What would you do?
What would others do?
Values underlying choice
You have discovered that a
close colleague is stealing
the petty cash in another
department.
You believe that you (male)
boss is over friendly with a
(female) member of your
staff and that is taking
advantage of the situation.
You are requested to
conceal information from
the auditors and you know
that this information could
get a close friend into
trouble.
The organization practices a
policy of immigrant
recruitment that is in
conflict with your deeply
held views.
You are required to fire a
worker for persistent
absenteeism but you know
that his absence is caused
by tragic domestic
circumstances. You feel that
the organization is being
inhumane in its attitude but
your boss remains
intransigent.
Along with other managers
and supervisors, you have
been exposed to training
that suggests that a more
democratic style of
management would be
appropriate. Most of your
colleagues appear to be in
favor of this, but you
honestly believe that those
who report to you require
more positive direction.
