,Personal Values and Managerial Behaviour: A Gap in the Knowledge, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to present the scope and the content of the book by outlining its central ideas—that is, how personal values influence managers’ behaviour. The chapter provides an overview of the literature about managers’ behaviour, their personal values and the correlations between the two. The discussion in this chapter lays out: (1) foundations for the study of management and managers in organizations; (2) foundations for the study of values, attitudes and the behaviour of managers; and (3) the main gaps in examinations of managers’ behaviour. Management studies of organizations and their various stakeholders have shown the importance of managers as a group of specialists charged with the accomplishment of desired (and well-grounded) goals and objectives of organizations through the administration and coordination of operations and through cooperation with other organizational stakeholders. In terms of theoretical applications, this chapter presents recommendations for further methodological and contextual study of personal values, behaviour and correlations between behaviour factors of managers. Practical applications include suggestions for the development of appropriate behaviour in organizations and the improvement of managers’ beliefs-values-attitudes-behaviour chain, and the benefits and drawbacks of managers’ behaviour are outlined.

,Drivers of Managerial Behaviour, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to consider the role and outline the drivers of managers’ behaviour for organizations. First, the chapter presents some possible approaches to empirically examining and measuring these drivers, and reveals a promising concept for values-culture-ethics-norms drivers. Studies have revealed fundamental behaviour drivers which we have utilized as building blocks in our study. Second, based on the abundant literature about behavioural drivers, we suggest a theoretical framework for broader consideration of drivers and correlations between drivers and managers’ behaviour. This framework will offer a broader sense of outlined drivers in the literature, with which we want to provide a comprehensive overview of important internal and external impacts on managers’ behaviour. Finally. the chapter discusses the changing role of important behaviour drivers in the current global environment. The discussion focuses on the role and importance of personal values in organizations in Slovenia and Austria, which will provide necessary additional knowledge for further discussion in subsequent chapters. In terms of theoretical applications, this chapter presents additional information for further study of managers’ behaviour drivers and their specifics in organizations which operate under various different circumstances. Practical applications focus on improvement of understanding of behaviour drivers, implementation of drivers in managers’ beliefs-values-attitudes-behaviour chains and recognition of drivers’ various characteristics under different circumstances.

,Personal Values and Managerial Behaviour, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to comprehensively examine the role of managers’ personal values in terms of influencing behaviour. First, the chapter introduces existing studies about the relations between individuals’ personal values and managers’ behaviour, where values are considered as key drivers of manager behaviour in organizations. The chapter describes the phenomena of personal values and their empirical examination within the frame of management, as well as psychological literature. Various approaches to measuring personal values are presented. Since we base our discussion and measurement of values on Schwartz’s Theory of Basic Human Values, we present this theory comprehensively. Based on the literature review, we try to emphasize the most influential personal values and groups of values that determine managers’ behaviour, regardless of the methodology used for measuring personal values or the approach to examining managers’ behaviour. The last part of the chapter provides an overview of the links between the most significant personal values and managers’ behaviour, and outlines typical single values and dimensions of values for managers’ behaviour in modern organizations.

,Towards a New Framework for Measuring Managerial Behaviour: An Initial Approach, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to develop a new framework for investigation of managers’ behaviour, to provide a detailed description of the proposed framework and outline starting points for empirical research into associations between managers’ personal values and behaviour. Building upon existing approaches to examining managers’ behaviour, the chapter outlines typical characteristics of managers’ behaviour, framed under the autocratic–democratic behaviour continuum. Next, the chapter provides a thorough description of the framework from a methodological viewpoint. In line with aims of this book, with its focus on personal values and managers’ behaviour in transforming and well-developed economies in Central Europe, key starting points for empirical research are provided. This chapter reveals the most significant differences in managers’ perception of values and behaviour in Slovenia and Austria.

,Values and Managerial Behaviour in Slovenia: A Transforming Economy, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to outline the characteristics of a Central European transforming economy (Slovenia), the state of managers’ behaviour according to the newly developed framework for examination of managers’ behaviour and the associations between managers’ personal values and behaviour. The chapter focuses on the empirical examination of managers’ behaviour and personal values and the associations between the two in Slovenian organizations. The assessments are based on 259 answers from managers in Slovenian organizations. First, an overview of managers’ personal values and behaviour in Slovenia is given. Next, the chapter explores relations between, on the one hand personal values and managers’ behaviour considered as a single entity and, on the other, personal values and five single characteristics of managers’ behaviour. The chapter concludes by looking at the implications of this analysis.

,Values and Managerial Behaviour in Austria: A Well-Developed Economy, |
Zlatko Nedelko,Vojko Potocan |
|
Abstract
The main purpose of this chapter is to address the links between values and management behaviour within the Germanic values system. The chapter provides an insight into the typical characteristics of the Germanic values system and of organizations operating in the area with prevailing Germanic value system. Findings are based on studies that utilize different frameworks for examining managers’ behaviour, as well as values. The majority of the chapter is dedicated to the empirical examination of managers’ personal values and behaviour and their associations, by using our newly developed framework on a sample of Austrian managers. Based on the answers of 196 managers from Austrian organizations, the chapter first outlines the current state of personal values of managers and of management behaviour in Austria. Next, it outlines the relations between, on the one hand, personal values and managers’ behaviour considered as a single entity, and, on the other hand, and personal values and five single characteristics of managers’ behaviour. The chapter concludes by looking at the implications of these findings.
