Abstract

Values are key principles in defining an organizations identity, organizational culture, climate, employee commitment and satisfaction. One of the key aspects in obtaining organizational performance is defining culture and expressing the particular principles that make an organization function at its best. Through direct observation of an organization activating in the manufacturing industry and through the application of an employee satisfaction survey, this paper aims at emphasizing what are the basic principles that make an organization obtain performance in its activities. The study’s focus is on identifying specific elements recognized as values and the way in which they can actively determine personnel to adhere to the culture promoted within the company. The paper also focuses on determining what are the aspects recognized as strengths from the personnel’s perspective and the needs of development in order to improve working conditions and establish a sense of organizational commitment.
