Human Resource Management – Espoused Values
Espoused Values
The longer you hang around any organization, the more questions you have in your mind, the more you see obvious inconsistencies between some of the espoused values and the visible behaviour, the more you think. What these inconsistencies tell you is that a deeper level of thought and perception is driving the overt behavior. The deeper level may or may not be consistent with the values and principles that are espoused by the organization. If you are to understand the culture, you must decipher what is going on at this deeper level.
