Abstract

The aim of the article is to find how perception of values is related to job satisfaction on an example of international manufacturing service corporation providing provides manufacturing services for the global customers. The study was carried out in 2009 and 1180 employees from seven factories located in six countries participated in the survey that focused on different aspects of job satisfaction and perceived organizational values. Results imply that job satisfaction of employees from different factories varies to a great extent, but values are perceived in rather similar manner and are generally congruent with declared values of the organization. Survey results show that those respondents who report perceived values coherent to the declared values of the company have significantly higher job satisfaction than those who did not reported particular or any value. It is discussed how and why the perception of shared values influences job satisfaction and its variations.
